On advice of Mike Quinn (MqIq77) in GA--I have totally cut back my beautiful camellia...
It has been struggling the last 3 years with weird leaf problems. The blooms were small and 'fungusy" looking and the whole Shrub had gotten bare and leggy.
That's why I had cuttings of it at the Plant swap.

Cut all the branches down and sent Mike a box-full if tip cuttings.....He already has them in the rooting "thing"....

He said (on seeing that I cut it all the way down): "I'm proud of you, Gita! You won't regret it".

I always listen to him......
