@120acc36 What a great idea. Where did you order it from? I wonder if they grow up north?
@ebda5176 They'll be fine to grow up north, if you can grow other camellias, you'll be able to grow it. I ordered from the Plant Company. Shipping is horrible, but you maybe able to find it locally. https://www.theplantcompany.co.nz/shop/product/shrubs/camellia-sinensis
@ebda5176 @120acc36 They grow beautifully in the Waikato. Zealong is just around the corner from here. If you're ever in the area the tour is worth it - it'll even tell you how to process your leaves into the different flavours of tea. https://zealong.com/
