I have a camillia in a large pot, it bloomd fine, new leaves are appearing but there are 2 round balls look like seed pods

Question

What are the 2 round balls and should I remove them

Answer 1

Your camellia has born fruit! Wait until the pod dries, maybe in the fall, and it will crack open on its own. It should contain seeds that you can propagate to grow new plants. However, the process is slow and the plant may never bloom. So, if you don't want to try growing the seeds, you can just remove the pods when you deadhead. Here's an article about camellias:
