I'm not sure whose note I'm responding to--someone who wished they could
grow camellia sinensis.  I'm growing it and it's the easiest of the many I
have (two enormous japonicas that predate my ownership, several lovely
sasanquas and the one that's fragrant (sorry, I'm not finding it's Latin
name in my book, but Berkeley Hort has a quite nice one--tiny leaves and
tiny flowers that smell like apple blossoms).  I'm the one that wrote in a
few months back with a question about the seeds the camellia sinensis was
getting, and hope to go out and pick off young leaves soon to dry for tea.
I'm in the Oakland Hills, and it's growing in a fairly shady area and gets
more neglect than anything. It's growing wonderfully well.
