Post #6875522

I have a rather established camelia (was there when I bought the house) that I imagine is probably around 7+ years old. I will add a picture tonight, but it's about 12 feet tall and about 6 feet in diameter. It produces blooms twice annually, and is a beautiful specimen in my yard. Unfortunately, it's in a bad place, in that I have preliminary plans to expand my fish pond and deck, and would really like to use the space the camelia lives.

Can anyone provide any input on how they grow in terms of roots (deep, shallow/spread out, etc.) that may help in deciding if we will attempt to relocate it? Also, is it possible that a nursery or landscaping company might be interested in purchasing it? Or is that merely a "fairy tale" scenario only played out on HGTV?

Thanks much for any suggestions anyone may offer!

~~ Jennifer
