Now it’s officially spring our Camellia hedge has come out in all its glory. The hedge (and the pavement!) is now adorned with beautiful pink blooms, take a look…
Ok it’s a bit overgrown, but we cannot trim it now until all of the flowers have gone, besides it is so pretty I don’t think it matters if it’s a little scruffy.
We also have a Camellia tree in the back garden. Sadly this one has been looking a bit poorly ever since we moved in. It has never flowered and a lot of the leaves have a sickly yellow tinge.
I looked online to try and find a reason for this and one of the possibilities was that the tree was waterlogged at the roots; this can affect the root function and stop it taking in vital nutrients from the soil. In order to alleviate this we lifted and replanted the tree in a new spot, using special Camellia compost and root grow. We will continue to keep an eye on it but hopefully this will solve the problem and bring our tree back to life again.
