What tree/what are these?

Growing very nicely indeed. Bravo!
Thanks for the update too

 

The Camellia which these seeds are taken from is in flower right now -

 

No idea but clearly not beyond your capabilities

Don't expect the seed grown one to look the same. It might come true or it may revert back as the parent is almost certainly a cultivar.

 

How exciting! Hope you get some nice flowers but they probably won't be like the parent. Interesting, nevertheless. You may be lucky and get something really nice.

 

It's about 3 inches tall now.. slowly growing.

It was taken from my uncle's garden when he moved house when I was a kid (probably 22 years ago now) and he died in October 2014, so will be nice to grow something from one of the seeds. Even if it's just a tree without flowers I'd be happy I think it'll be years before any major update on it, though.

 

Just out of interest, does anyone know the name of what type of Camellia the parent plant is?

Thanks

 

Does anyone think it could be Camellia Japonica 'Mrs Charles Cobb'?



The leaves appear waxier than these, though.

 

Or, the 'Great Eastern'?



Which has waxy leaves, similar to my tree/plant.

 

I believe my Camellia to be 'Dr Burnside' after a few weeks of searching.

I'm going to try and turn the seedling into a bonsai over the next few years, see how it goes!
