Larry Bates Nursery


      The Larry Bates Nursery, is doing a great service for those of us looking for harder to find camellias.   They sell very nice healthy plants at reasonable prices.  Be aware that camellias sent through the mail, are generally kind of small.  But of all the places I have ordered from, the ones that came from Larry Bates have been the largest , and have a nice full shape.
         
                                     
                            Here is one ,that I recently received
       
                                                                     


I have had two experiences ordering from the Larry Bates Nursery, and both were exceptional.
They have great customer service, and are very attentive.


When ordering in the spring, do it early .
Because I think that they stop shipping sometime in late April

Also be aware that not all of the plants that they sell, will be hardy here. Since they are in Louisiana
So do your research before selecting plants
