I have a large double-white Camelia Bush that I have had in a large container on my porch since 1999. I dug it from my Mother's yard after she died and I moved to Atlanta. It has done great until now. I water it and feed it and it gets appropriate light, but just in the last week, as it started putting out the new leaves and old ones dropping - it also started dropping the new leaves. And the leaves have brown and black on the ends of the leaves (some small leaves are completely black.)

I don't want to lose the plant as it is a loving reminder of my Mother. Does anyone know if it has a fungus, pest or what is wrong with it?

I will appreciate your remarks as to how I can save the plant.

Hardiness Zone: 6b

Thanks,
AtlantaPat from Atlanta, GA

AtlantaPat,
Try this website. It is the Gainesville FL Camellia Society. They have a lot of good information on camellias. I hope this helps you.
