With most of our Garden Shows and Camellia Shows cancelled this season, we are getting lots of enquiries and lots of visits from folk wanting camellias.
As indicated in earlier posts, we do have a number of days when we open the garden and nursery to the public. This gives folk an opportunity to see our camellias in flower in our garden and to buy some for theirs. So in response to some current enquiries, we are repeating details of upcoming days when the public can visit.

Hi ..I have a Mrs D W Davis descanso…spelling may vary..in cannon hill brisbane…have a question how to propagate.. thank you mervyn
Propagate the same as for any camellia – sasanqua and Japonica – as a cutting in summer – around mid/late December for us – when the wood is ready. Use a rooting hormone for semi hardwood cuttings. Cover with a plastic bottle to maintain humidity and keep moist and in a shaded petition. Roots should be viable after 4 to 5 months. You can also graft on to sasanqua July to September or air layer. Hope this helps.
