    I’m pretty sure this is a camellia. My nan used to have one of these, though it didn’t look like this.

    That flower looks like a camellia to me 😃 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    App suggests magnolia, but doesn’t seem quite right (not that I’d know🤪).

    Beautiful garden. Do keep posting pictures :smile: If you're on Instagram you might be interested in following David Francis (david.w.francis). He's learning too, though from the perspective of being a recently transplanted horticulturalist.

    A bit of research suggest Plum Yew or Yew Plum Pine?

    David Francis was my tutor at Capel Manor.  I knew he had moved to Japan.  He has encyclopedic knowledge of uk gardening,  he trained at Kew.  He taught RHS level 2 at Capel,  and Level 3 at Regent's park,  and Writtle college.  I'm not an Instagram user but I might join!
