Camellia problem
A friend has a Camellia japonica that has some sort of problem. The leaves
look quite sunburned to me. The only thing is, the plant is two years old and is in the shade of tall trees. Bright area, but no direct sun ay any time of the day. The 60 yr old camellias across the street are doing the same thing. This is in Baton Rouge, LA. Any ideas out there? thanks, elizabeth |

Camellia problem
Are the leaves also thickened and/or a little twisted? Is it confined only
to the new growth? If so, it's most likely a fungus that spreads rampantly during cool springs with excessive rains. It also affects azaleas. I forgot the name of the fungus, but it can be controlled with sprays before the problem appears, or by hand picking leaves or cutting twigs and burning the infected parts.
