Thanks, Gaalan! I spent hours last night trying to google descriptions of the camellia to figure out what it was so I would know how to care for it but had no luck. Then today I came across this forum. :-) Rhizo_1 - It receives a few hours of afternoon sunlight. The shape of our house protects it from direct sunlight for the most part. It seems to be doing ok. ???Granted, we just moved in about two months ago so we'll see.

Hi - I got mine from Hortico several years ago. I just saw it listed from Peter Schneider under the Custom Propagation section. http://www.combinedroselist.com/freedom-gardens.html I know that Palatine Roses in Canada offered Fair Bianca a few weeks ago when it had a special sale of discontinued David Austin roses. You might contact them to find out when their next sale is. I believe their FB is grafted on multiflora rootstock which does well for me in 9b. Ann

Yes, its Acer palmatum - the winged seed pod gives it away Ted

Nope not a Lynwood--color was pale yellow and lynwood from what I read maxes out at 8 feet...this one was at least 15-20. Was told by someone at the garden that this tree was only 5 years old! The tree stood by itself..nothing else around it.
