About this Camellia cultivar
Golden Glow is presented here in association with a wild camellia accession identified by the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley as Camellia pitardii var. yunnanica from China, originally accessioned in 1954. The plant is described as a lovely large shrub or small tree, notable for producing rusty-brown fruit resembling small apples and relatively large glossy brown seeds. Based on this context, Golden Glow appears to be associated with a yellow-toned camellia display or selection tied to this taxon. Its flowering is inferred to occur in winter to early season, consistent with the January flowering note. Visible and contextual traits suggest a simple to lightly petaled flower with a warm yellow or golden center effect and ornamental evergreen foliage.
