You are lucky to still have 4 left. I have found that camellias as young as
that have a greater than 75% mortality rate if planted in the ground. The
nursery who sold them to you should not have done so.
If you buy 3 year old plants (75cm or so high), the mortality rate drops to less
than 10%
I was hoping to save a buck or two by going for the very young
Camellias, but I think in future, I'll be going for the more mature
ones.
Is this the case with Magnolias as well?
Magnolias have a better chance of survival when young than camellias.
