Local camellia expert, Charles Cresson may know. If you email me at abuntin1@swarthmore.edu I can give you his email address.

I found the article when I went to bing.com which also refers to a NYTimes article related to a project that I am working with, The McIlhenny collection of camellias. I am interested in the pre-1900 US introductions and am collecting scions for growing to plant at the LSU Burden Center in Baton ROuge, La. I am also the chairperson of the American Camellia society trail gardens committee. Can you tell me if there are pre-1900’s camellias in your area? If so, I would like to collect cuttings in February, if possible. Pat and Herb Short also visited the Burden Center garden in December of last year and we were accepted as an ICS Garden of Excellence. THank you so much for your time and attention.
