Q.Pruning Camellias
My Camellias are trees. They’ve no real shape. They’ve stopped blooming now, and they really need pruning. How much should I cut them back?

I would only prune it back by 1/3. You can follow up next year with a pruning of 1/3 again. Any more than 1/3 and most plants start to have problems.
