Woody Ornamentals

Camellia


There are two beetles or weevils commonly reported on camellias. Both can be controlled with Sevin.

The cranberry rootworm feeds on foliage at night and leaves numerous holes, some of them cresent shaped. The Fuller rose beetle is a problem on the flowers. Dursban is labled for Fuller rose beetles on camellias.
