  • Theaceae member?- Eden Project, Cornwall, UK


    SK 3442 30 April 2022: 3 very high res. images.

    Location: Eden Project, Cornwall, UK
    Altitude: 60m.
    Date: 03 April 2022
    Habit : Cultivated

    Pl. try Camelia.

    The Eden project is unusual.

    It has biodomes/giant round greenhouses that are the home to plants world wide.
    It was created in the waste are of a disused clay mine in Cornwall.
    It is a huge tourist attraction.
    Quote…” Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, Eden is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches.”  
    Sorry, but I have never seen this tree before.
    I do not think the leaves or the flowers/fruits are correct for Camellia.
