Question from
Keith
I planted a camelia adolph audusson three years ago, it has grown slowly, now approx 2 ft high. foliage is slightly yellow. Position is probably more sunny than it should be, soil is loamy (clay sub soil) with neutral pH but is treated regularly with ericaceous compost and sequestratded iron. Any ideas please?
