People are often sometimes surprised to hear that Tea is actually made from the leaves of a species of camellia, Camellia sinensis.
We have one tiny plant, bought last winter, which is covered in delightful small white flowers , even though it would usually be expected to flower in mid-autumn. But it a very odd season.
Camellia sinensis is not only useful and productive but can be used as a delightful hedging or topiary plant.
