ABSTRACT: Camellia
genus was introduced in Spain in the mid-19th century. Since then, an increase
on Camellia culture has been reported, mainly in Galician moist gardens (NW
Spain). In spite of its wide distribution, there are some features of the
biological behaviour of this genus which have remained unknown. The study on
the performance of the phenological conditions will obtain an improvement on
camellia handling, in the control of phytosanitary products application and
commercialisation. The main aim of the present work will be to describe for the
first time the phenological conditions of the Camelllia genus. For four years a
monitoring on the different stages of the species: Camellia japonica, Camellia
sasanqua, Camellia reticulata, Camellia sinensis, Camellia hibrido, Camellia
grijsii, Camellia rosiflora, Camellia lutchuensis y Camellia oleifera, located
in Areeiro and Soutomaior gardens in Pontevedra (NW Spain) was performed. These
gardens were observed twice a week during blooming and sprouting seasons, and
once a week the rest of the year. The phenological condition of the species
with several specimens growing in the same plantation was evaluated according
to the stage more abundant, since the phenological development of these
specimens was not simultaneous. Results obtained ranged from 9 to 16 different
phenological conditions all along the Camellia annual life cycle, being the
differences among species very apparent. Thus, C. sinensis blooming period
begins in August- September, and some C. hibrida cultivars blooming period
starts in February.
