• As a major supplier of ericaceous compost, I would recommend the enormous trench full of my product, regardless of the fact that only a few grams will ever come into contact with the Royal roots. I can only apologise for the cost of plants with regal associations. Camellias are big buggers and planting with 5' gaps will eventually form a lovely hedge. Could I suggest planting something sacrificial between them until they fill the gaps? If you go with Berberis, invest in chainmail gloves for pruning time.
