Camellia sasanqua. Basic pruning tip #6.

How to prune a camellia.
Trish, The Gong Gardener.
Pruning a sasanqua camellia to establish a hedge.
This method can also be used to establish and thicken up a camellia planted on it's own.
The hedge planned for this garden is a spaced out hedge. If you are planning a tight hedge plant out the camellias at 500mm centres.

I've never been shown how to do a really young Camellia and just needed your help to make sure my plant instincts and training were correct! Thank you. It's so scary when they're little but it's what they need.

Correct. Glad it helped.

This was very helpful. I have a tendency to prune like I’m doing a rose.
I’ve never been shown how to prune a younger plant ~ so thank you.
