This camellia wild form comes from southern China, where it grows as a large bush or small tree up to a height of 8 meters.
In China, C. oleifera has been cultivated for centuries for its oil-rich seeds, from whose extract the valuable camellia oil is obtained. The "olive oil" of Asia is used as a cooking oil and also in the cosmetic industry for skin and hair care products. Studies point to the high antioxidant content of camellia oil.
The white, silky, delicately scented flowers are between 5cm and 8cm in size and bloom from November to December. The growth is strong and open, the fruits are 3 -5 cm large. The foliage is dark green and oval shaped.
C. oleifera is considered the hardiest camellia. It was one of the few camellias in a Washington DC Arboretum collection to survive one of the coldest winters in the 1980s. Since then, C. oleifera has been continuously crossed with other species (e.g. C. sasanqua) and other varieties in order to breed particularly hardy camellias for colder regions.

Always well packaged
How we ship
Quality testing
Each camellia is carefully checked before shipping and, in addition to the plant passport, receives a weatherproof aluminum variety label.
No drying out
Each plant is watered thoroughly before shipping. The plant pot is then covered with a plastic bag to prevent the root ball from drying out.
Protectively packaged
The camellia is then carefully wrapped in newspaper or wrapping paper so that the leaves, buds and flowers are well protected.
No slipping
The camellia is fixed in the cardboard box so that it cannot slip.
Shatterproof cardboard boxes
Our camellias are shipped in specially made, sturdy cardboard boxes and can therefore arrive to you intact and in excellent condition.
Safe in the truck
We ship particularly large camellias via a shipping company. Here too, the plants are excellently packaged.
Freight forwarding delivery
For very large camellias with a height of 1.50 to 2.30 meters, shipping is carried out by a shipping company. The very well packaged camellia is transported standing on a Euro pallet. The delivery time within Germany is 2-3 days; within Europe up to 1 week. The transport costs are calculated individually depending on where you live. Please contact us by phone or email before ordering.
About Us
I bought my first camellia over 20 years ago. At that time I had my office next to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt and regularly visited the various plant exhibitions. This also applies to the camellia exhibition in February. I was enchanted by the blaze of color, the wonderful flower shapes and the elegant habit of the camellias and couldn't decide which of the many I should take home with me. It was difficult to choose the most beautiful camellia from such a variety. For me it became Jury's Yellow, which accompanied me for many years and even endured on our roof terrace during the particularly hot summer of 2003.
