Camellia japonica has been cultivated in Japan since ancient times and a few cultivars have been grown since the 1600's or before. Almost all varieties are upright shrubs which grow from 4 to 12 inches a year. Almost all develop into dense symmetrical shrubs with glossy evergreen leaves. There are many different flower forms, colors, and bloom seasons. Camellia Forest introductions are marked with a "CF"
