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.


Thanks Chris. As yet the pod is still on the plant and very green so maybe
it won't even get to the stage of splitting. Anyway I will try and see what
happens.
