While deadheading some other plants I noticed that my Camellia had a small apple like fruit. I’ve had the plant for less than a year, it flowered beautifully in Spring. I know it’s not edible but can it be planted? Has anyone else come across this before?
I recently had one of those too, never seen it on any camellia in the past (including one that was at least 20 years old). I wonder if it was this summer’s hot weather that brought it about?
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
It’s been warm interspersed with lots of rain too, maybe that encouraged the seedpod . I will wait a while and then have a go at propagating it. It would be great if I could produce another plant ☺️
