I agree with Rod, last year i planted a camellia which moved with me from my old house, and after planting it looked sick for ages, dropped a few leaves, hardly grew, and all the leaves drooped like it was on its way to plant heaven. Anyway kept it well water and later in summer it perked up and i even had 5 beautiful flowers on it this year which was unexpected seeing how poorly it looked. This year its put massive amounts of growth and looks in top condition, just need to keep up the night time trips with torch to stop those vine weevils taking chunks out of the leaves
