How to Grow and Care for Camellia Apples

Both camellias and apple-blossom-like shrubs thrive with similar care: plant in well-drained soil, offer morning sun with afternoon shade, and mulch annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during dry spells and prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
