Many varieties of C. japonica will produce pods or 'apples' but a lot
of them contain no viable seed. High pollination temperatures are
required, not usually prevalent in the UK at camellia-flowering time,
but who knows, you may be lucky. If there are some good seeds, follow
Michael's instructions. But it'll take several years to get a plant
mature enough to produce flowers, four or five if you're lucky.
