Could you provide a picture of the whole plant? We also need to know where in the world it is growing and does it have flowers or fruit?

I concur with Ternstroemia gymnanthera. Also erroneously known by the name 'Cleyera'. Probably best to call it 'False Cleyera'. It does flower, but the flowers are not all that noticeable. They are small and greenish. This plant is grown for its lustrous and soft foliage.

The leaves look like they came from a plastic factory in SE Asia.

I have two about 6 and 8 ft. tall. Nothing remarkable about them, and like Dave says, "the flowers are not all that noticeable".

Picture taken a few days ago. Looking north.

We had a particularly dry summer and this plant had been in the shade until I cut a Calocedrus down. The leaves burned a bit.

Looks good inter-planted with Camellia japonica.

Good idea! I like that.

Trouble is I have no Camellia japonicas. Sasanquas might work?

I've got a couple of those.

Mike

C. japonica is just more culturally and visually compatible. But if you like the idea of combining what you already have then you may be good to go. Otherwise C. sasanqua belongs to the medium green - full sun - average water naturalistic character group, along with

Abelia x grandiflora

Arbutus unedo

Various evergreen azaleas

Erica carnea

Gaultheria mucronata

Ilex cornuta

Mahonia aquifolium

Osmanthus heterophyllus

Pyracantha

Sec. Triflora rhododendrons

and so on.

Thanks, Ron. I'm always looking for good combinations that makes good over all design compositions. Your advice along those lines have been right on as far as I'm concerned.

I have two of each and all four will have to be moved. That should be fun!

Mike

The few times I've moved established camellias they've always croaked afterwards. But other people are apparently able to transplant sometimes quite large ones.

Thanks for the warning. I haven't moved many either and these haven't been moved in over 20 years.....We'll see.

I moved a C. japonica once that was about 10 ft. tall. I was only going a short distance to my house and didn't secure it well enough and it fell out of my truck on to the street. A couple of homeowners came out and helped me get it back into the truck. It lived,...... and I was lucky.

I favor the C. sasanquas over the C. japonicas because of the blossom rot the japonicas get. Just when the blossoms start to look real good they turn mushy brown. When I moved from Seattle, I left that C. japonica behind. It's still there after 35 years.
