International Camellia Congress

Trewithen held the opening ceremony of the 25th ICS Congress. 224 delegates from more than 20 different countries attended this event which takes place every 18 to 24 months. Professor Gao Jiyin from China, bought with him some camellia seeds that have been collected from the wild. These will include C.nitidissima, a true yellow flowered camellia which flowers here during the summer - meaning Trewithen will have a camellia in blossom every month of the year.
