Especially the Higo, Nana Komachi, has produced one about the size of a lemon. The variegated japonica 'Paul Jones supreme' has "variegated" fruit Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Luis_pr  My Time Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 10:21 am EST :    Congratulations! I am so jealous! I have not had naturally occurring camellia seed pods here but, I understand that you can wait until October-ish (or when the fruits looses its shine and cracks) to get the seeds. It is important to let the seeds mature attached to the plant. Once the fruit cracks, keep them in the refrigerator... in a plastic bag with moistened perlite until Spring arrives. At that time, you can transfer them into a pot with a sand/ground peat mix. The new plants should flower in 4-5 years.

Maybe the cold treatment isn't always necessary, but it does eliminate the need to provide winter protection for the seedlings. Jjoyner62 - Virginia, Zone "7b"
