Camellia preserved at Middleton Place plantation
In Charleston South Carolina the Middleton Place garden manager Sidney Charles Frazier has propagated a 210 year old Michaux camellia using air layering after 15 years of failed tries. The heirloom plant, introduced around 1786 by Andre Michaux, is the last of its kind in the United States with three originals dead and the parent plant ailing but still standing. Frazier eliminated pesticides and now relies on organic methods including insects and beneficial nematodes to maintain the historic garden’s camellia stock.
