There are some very old Camellias in your country and I would try with those sources first as they are most likely to be the parents of your plants.

The best blooming I have seen are plants that are in full sun.

I have an arbutus unedo that flowers every year but has not produced any fruit – very disappointing. It’s at least 6 years old and is about 6′ tall and wide. Any suggestions?

Great information: especially liked the blog on lavender as I am trying several varieties in my garden in Victoria. I have lost a couple of them, but in general they are doing fine. I prepared my clay soil with dug in coarse sand and organic matter for drainage, then put shells around them to add calcium and keep the soil sweet.
I have also planted some in sandy soil in Parksville and they have done very well in the hot dry summers there, plus they are one of the few plants that the deer don’t like.
Thanks -
