Default Snowdrops in the green

The message
from "Spider" contains these words:

I got some tea nuts from Chiltern Seeds some years ago, but they didn't
germinate. They have a very short viability.


Never heard of those. In one sense, I *am* a tea nut!, but that's not
quite
the same thing. Pity you couldn't get it to grow. Was it a Camellia
relative, or what ..?


The tea bush - Camellia sinensis - has nuts - about the size of an
acorn, but a bit rounder.

They should be planted immediately, if not earlier...
