National Plant Network 1 gal Black Magic Camellia Japonica Live Shrub with Partial Shade

Extremely small plant for a one trade gallon container. Most big box stores put three plants together for a more lush shrub. This thing came as a twig with a few branches. Thankfully I only ordered one. This was a test buy. Seller failed.

I'm hoping to keep this 'stick' alive %26 see it, over a period of years in the right growing conditions, finally become not only a 'shrub' but eventually look like the picture! I'm a many years' gardener w a definite green thumb...but I was also definitely outraged when I opened the box. I purchase many plants annually and this one was a huge disappointment %26 I was massively over-charged for it:( Thankfully most other plants purchased this growing season thru Walmart were healthy %26 robust %26 as represented.
