Plant landscape materials. Camellia is evergreen in four seasons, widely distributed and graceful, so it is one of the important plant landscaping materials in the south of China.

Isolated planting: the use of different natural tree shapes of camellia, planted alone in the green environment, especially in contrast to the lawn greens.

Group planting: the use of camellia natural tree shape, high and low scattered, in small groups, clumps into pieces, in order to highlight the landscape effect of camellia.

Artificial shaping: camellia can also be used for ornamental applications through artificial shaping, such as trimming and shaping the crown into a spherical, umbrella-shaped, cylindrical crown, camellia wall tree type, flat floor type, so that camellia prostrate on the ground to grow and spread the ground.

Wall trees are widely used in Western Europe and North America, that is, camellia flowers are planted outside the sunny warm wall, attached to climbing wall racks, so that camellia branches rise along the wall, and then cover the wall, quite spectacular.

Bonsai modeling: with dwarf mountain tea old pile, usually tea plum for more, according to the bonsai modeling method, with water stone, lovely and chic. It can also be grafted with old piles, which can be quick and colorful. Mr. Liu Maohua's experience is that the production of camellia bonsai is won by "artistic conception". Through human conception, camellia bonsai skillfully handle the stem, top and root of natural camellia plants. in order to express the feeling of stretching, unrestrained and unrestrained. When making bonsai with camellia seedlings, we should choose camellia seedlings with tall and straight posture, abundant posture, complete tree shape and bending resistance of trunk branches, and basically clear levels of camellia seedlings, mainly trunk treatment, then branching, topping, and then root exposure treatment. The trunk is treated into curved trunk and other shapes. in the production, according to the trend of seedling materials, decisive pruning plastic arts means are adopted to deal with the branches so that the trunk leaves the main branches with foil function. Knot is the main part of dynamic performance, which should be paid special attention to. In the process of branching treatment, we must make sure that the tree shape is symmetrical, the weight is suppressed, the length is reasonable, and the artistic means of mutual harmony, such as density, emptiness, exposure, echo, rigidity, clumsiness, thickness and so on, must be adhered to in the whole layout of tree stump bonsai.

Japan should have been influenced by our country. Nowadays, the cultivation of camellias is quite common.
