I’ve just purchased 2 different varieties of Nuccios’s in the last 6 months: a red Bella Rossa and a white Nuccios Gem. Wanted to make sure I could still get them. So glad I did, they’re just beautiful!

these fellas are rock stars long may they reign

Agreed!

[@maddyjong7273]

They will be closing in 2024 and my heart is broken. Thank you for all your years of providing happiness to all your loyal followers.

I'm so glad to know I can order camelias plants from a California grower. I've been under the impression that camelias are an east coast plant. So happy I know better now.

Nuccio's Nursery is the gold standard in camelias and azaleas. When searching online for C. Sinensis, I was thrilled to find not just a nursery, but an authority in camelia culture to be nearby. Had no problem making the 3 hour round trip journey to hand pick my plants and pick their brains on how to raise them. Beautiful nursery, beautiful plants and extensive selection, very reasonable prices as well. Check them out if you're in the area.

Nice video. Tom and Jim are so kind and fun to visit. They have great stories and beautiful plants. This video is well done. Thank you for such a nice documentary.

[@rayestorga3781]

I’ve purchased from Nucchio’s years ago. They have quality plants and are great folks. Keep up the great work guys. 👍🏽💨

[@zzhou1557]

Just came back today from there. What a wonderful nursery! I would encourage to visit them before they retire. Great plants and Tom and Jim are so knowledgeable folks!

[@natashalion8028]

Thank you so much, from the Uk. I bought a Nuccio's Cameo Camelia today and am soo looking forward to watching it grow over the years. . .

[@sreykimsear]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video very much

[@ChrisNuccio]

Amazing video. Thank you so much Brandon.

[@Tajni_Zacin]

Great one!

[@altafnurserymiranshahpakis8944]

Good

[@Prometheus4096]

I wish there was more about azaleas.

[@BrandonSlavinski]

Thank you for watching! I'll happily go back and shoot one specifically focused on their azaleas if Tom and Jim have the time.

[@Prometheus4096]

@@BrandonSlavinski No problem. I would be so so happy with that video if it had more azalea. Maybe next year. Very good production quality! Also nice to see them together and talk. But a bit sad to hear that they have no successors.

[@nicoleschiffhauer5367]

Brandon I enjoyed your video as well. Something that could be helpful would be to label the plant as their going so we can write the name down of their recommendations. For a follow up I keep reading and hearing people say some Camilla’s are fragrant. If this is true I would love yo see a video about them! I hope they don’t retire anytime soon. They are wonderful at what they do!

I would like to find a peekaboo camellia I don’t know if it is a new breed species because I can’t find much information about it I saw it once long ago at Lowe’s hardware store
