They are starting to leaf out--still in the tight bud-leaf stage. I know Camellias are not so easy to root. Happy suggested ait-layering (I may try that...) or bending a branch down and covering it with soil to root. This is not possible--as none of the branches reach the ground. Have you ever rooted a her-wood cutting of a camellia, Chantelle???? I need to do something--very soon!!! The air-laering (nick, moist sphagnum moss, plastic tied around it on both ends) seems the best to me at this time. There will not be any bloom this year--as it spent the last year growing new stems like gang-busters. Any advice???? Thanks, Gita These were taken in April. They are more leaf-ready now. |
