Camelia

[kittipyp]

Can anyone explain why red and green fruits have appeared on a camelia shrub. Have never seen these fruits before on any other camelia

Some camelias do fruit - there is a photo on this page:

Thank you for your reply but the camelia I have has pink flowers so I feel it is a different species from the one in your photo. The fruits are quite large (red and green) and it has never had fruits on it before.
