Corgi--
The man you need to ask is "mqiq77" in GA.

He fell in love with my Bob Hope camellia a few years ago and asked
if I would send him some cuttings.
He said to take the cuttings when the new tip growths are about 6" tall,
but starting to harden off a bit--that means start to get a bit woody.

At this time of year (approx. mid-summer here) you would also trim back
your bush if you needed to.
So, I sent him a box-full of cuttings and he said I made him "the happiest
man in the World". I believe he got about 30 cuttings out of what I sent him
and rooted about 28. He has his ways.....
Being woody-cuttings, it is not all that easy to root them.

Ever since then--he has been my camellia expert and I have gone to him for
all kinds of advice.
Feel free to use my name (Gita) as he would know me.

Good luck! Gita

Here is a picture (in better days...) of my Bob Hope Camellia.
And, NO! I do not have cuttings to share, as I cut the whole bush down to nubs
in an attempt to eradicate some kind of fungal problems on the leaves.
