Q.Will Camphor Tree Keep My Myrtles From Growing/blooming?
My dwarf crepe murtles are planted at the edge of a camphor tree canopy. Will this prevent them from growing or blooming?

It is possible that it could cause a slight slow down in growth, but these shrubs are quite accustomed to growing near other specimens. There may be some concern for chemical warfare at the rootzone, but it looks to be taking to the area quite well, for now.
