Hi,I can trade cuttings of a dark pink camelia,its a old variety.I'm interested in cuttings of your angel wings rose.I also have a very light pink camelia to if that interest you.E-mail me if interested and we can work out the details..Debbie

I believe if somebody asks for camellia _sinensis_, they want the leaves not the blooms. It will be quite disappointing to get something else. Here is a picture of a flower from Sochi Tea plant (camellia sinensis var assamica) from a few days ago. Does any of your camellias have similar blooms? If you have favorable conditions for camellias and live in the zone 8, you can grow your own tea! I'm not the original poster, just asking some off topic questions. Thanks for answering!

It depends on the laws of the country that you want to send the scions to. The United States requires the phytosanitary certificate along with a permit from USDA to import, but I don't know what other countries require. Good luck

Your grandmother's camellia might be 'Professor Sargeant' -- we'll not talk about the two that used to be here until DH decided to move them. Nevermind. Burying a limb will work IF you cut into the bark and put a pebble in the cut to hold it open. Sometimes. It works better for azaleas. I belong to the 'here, take this and stick it in the ground it will root' school of rooting cuttings as taught by Miss Billie Harvey. This brings up a multitude of questions from the person being told to stick a cutting in the ground: Where in the ground? How deep in the ground? Should it be in the shade? How often to water? How do I know when it has rooted? -- and on and on. Green thumbs are developed by trial and error. For every stem that roots, there are some that do not. Get some cuttings, stick them somewhere and don't let them dry out, but don't agonize over them too much. Type 'root Camellia' into Google or another search engine. Dozens of how-tos will appear. Here's a likely one with lots of tips, from a reliable source. Nell Here is a link that might be useful: Klaus Peper Tells How to Root Camellias
