I've ordered plants from Camellia Forest Nursery for many years and have always been very satisfied with what they've sent. Their Camellia cultivar 'April Remembered' is great.
A great selection of unusual trees and shrubs. Unfortunately many of them are not hardy up in my neck of the woods. I have bought quite a few plants from them and have been well pleased.
I've ordered nine camellias from Camellia Forest. All arrived in good condition and have thrived (except for one screw-up on my part). The plants were shipped bare root, although I understand they ship in pots to locations other than here on the West coast. All were small (at least compared to what I've seen in typical retail nurseries), and so have only flowered sparsely so far (less than one year). However, they were also substantially cheaper than the larger retail camellias ($7-$13). Personally, I prefer to use my plant budget to buy more plants and wait for them to mature instead of blowing it all on a few larger plants. They have a more interesting variety of camellias than I've typically seen in the retail outlets, including a number of new introductions from China.
Camellia Forest is not only a source for new and excellent camellias, they introduce new and unusual plants to the gardening world. Kai MeiParks is one of the best plant propagators I know, and the plants she produces are good value and excellent quality as well as unusual.
