This Camellia japonica cultivar is probably 'Auburn White', which was hybridized locally. We aren't totally sure, there are several other forms on the market which also closely fit the bill. As with any C. japonica, a good shaking is needed every week to dislodge the spent flowers, which have a tendency to not fall off readily. This plant is located behind Ed's house in the curator's garden. It has been pruned to a single trunk, as we desired to have a mixed perennial planting underneath the canopy of this plant.
