Dave,
You certainly can do that. The best time to strike them would be in late spring or summer, from semi-hardwood cuttings.
Cheers,
Dee. |

| Dave, I have never tried cuttings of camelia trees. But I can tell you that they grow very well indeed in the Adelaide Hills. Frost does not harm them. The heat doesn't either. They do quite well in a bit of semi-shade, too. If you'd like cuttings, send me an email. We've got red and white ones. |

Dave, you should be able to grow them there. What have you got to lose anyway? If you can get some cuttings from Spatzbear go for it. Just wait till spring, or you probably won't have any success.
Cheers,
Dee. |
