This Chinese species is closely related to C. japonica, but it has larger flowers and can have a distinct orange-red hue in the flowers.The flowers are single with a large boss of yellow anthers and bloom from late winter into early spring. Reports from this country indicate this is species is quite cold-hardy, possibly into Zone 6. This is a showy species, which deserves to be used widely in the landscape and hybridized to push the limits of camellias. Often large apple-sized fruits are produced and the seeds can be pressed to make high-quality oil for cooking. (Zone 7a) [2 quart pot]

1 year old seedling = 4 inch pot
This very fine textured shrub produces small (2" across) white flowers in the late winter or early spring. The narrow leaves have a nice red flush as they emerge and are displayed on willowy growth. The plant becomes a small tree with time and has very good cold hardiness. These seedlings come from plants originating in the Huang Shan (Yellow mountains) in Anhwei province near the northern limits of Camellias in China.
Hardy to USDA Zone 7A

1 year old seedling = 2 qt pot
While searching for wild plants of C. chekiangoleosa in Zhejiang province we saw this species growing along the road in abundance under young trees. It was blooming heavily in February and we even found one with slightly pink flowers. Mostly the flowers are white and about 1.5 to 2 inches across. The heavy bloom can weigh down the longer branches into graceful arches. The small leaves usually have a distinctly pointed tip. The hexaploid chromosome number allows hybrids to be made with a range of species and several cultivars have been developed: 'Yoi Machi', 'Crimson Candles' and 'Tiny Princess'. Small seedlings.
