Question 1

I was directed to your nursery while sesrching for a Camellia sinensis that I could grow outdoors in NE Ohio, zone 6.  Could you please give me more information, including price?

Accepted Answer

Unless you are very close to the lake, NE Ohio is really pushing the limits of where Camellia sinensis can be grown. Sudden drops in temperature and extended periods below freezing can damage or even kill tea plants.
If you want to try some, I recommend "Black Sea Tea" @$20. These are seed grown from Russian seeds and should be quite cold hardy.

Question 2

Is any part of your nursery wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

It's really not wheelchair that are electric. But overall it was a great experience

Question 3

Will any of your cold hardy camellias survive in Lewisburg wv? We are zone 6ish.

Accepted Answer

Although Camellias may thrive for several years in Lewisburg, WV I think you will have a cold winter when the Camellias will be severely damaged or killed by exceptionally low temperatures or extended periods of temperatures below 10F. The most cold hardy Camellias can tolerate brief drops to -5 or even -10 F but lower temperatures or extended cold can damage or kill the plants.

Question 4

I am searching for a smaller variety blooming cherry.  The Yoshina may be too large and I have read that the Japanese consider the Kanzan a "trash tree", also its branching is in a "Y" shape.
Suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Good morning, Harriet,

Prunus incisa 'Kojo-no-mai' is a compact, deciduous flowering cherry cultivar with somewhat twisted growth.  Check out the full description here: https://camforest.com/products/ts-pruinckoj

Our current stock is in 5-gallon pots ($50) and would have to be picked up here at the Nursery in Chapel Hill, NC.

Have a great day!

Question 5

I received a text from you telling me a set of numbers was my Shopify Pay code for Camellia Forest. Never used your website to order before. What is a Shopify Pay code? Will I be asked for this code when I finish my order????

Accepted Answer

We do not send out texts to new customers nor do we use Shopify Pay codes. I would ignore this text and delete it.

Question 6

Will Camellia's survive and grow in Southeast Oklahoma and is it too late to plant???

Accepted Answer

Yes, southeast Oklahoma is in a good zone for camellias. It's not too late to plant yet.

Question 7

How deep are the roots of my 20 year old camellia which I must remove .

Accepted Answer

Old Camellia will make taproots that can be 2 or more feet deep. If you are trying to transplant the Camellia you can cut the deeper roots but you will need to prune the top to match the root system.
