Standard Camellia (mostly)

My red Camellia pruned into a standard shape, more planting space underneath! Included pink C. x Williamsii, a mass of blooms.

Great pruning...looks much nicer like a tree. :)

So many flowers, our standard is quite sparse compared to yours....they have done well for you....

Both shrubs are well over 20 years old now. I keep saying the Red will have to come out. When backing the car out, one can't see pedestrians walking along the pavement, also creates shade over the Iris bed. I do have another, from a cutting in the back garden, which this year has one flower. So what's stopping me, cowardice?

There is Solomons Seal planted beneath it now.
