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!

"I also like a water soluble fertilizer in containers more than granular" Ironic as I typed the same words in another thread. Yes I do too. I have a question about bacteria surviving well in containers, so water soluable makes a lot of sense. Also I used amonium sulfate this year on in ground, raised bed blueberries and they responded extremely well. I like to at least use it once a year. Back to containers Miracle Grow now too supplies micro-nutrients. or trace elements too. Another key is using rainwater or acid treated water. Hollytone though sounds like a fine product, and I would think it is a lot better than Cottonseed. Having microbes, fungi, and sulfur, it should be pricey, you get what you pay for.
