Any idea what disease my camellia has?

Half of my camellia looks great but the other half is dying with what looks like a fungus. Any tips?

Looks like it's hitting puberty.

What’s the underside look like? I’m not an expert at all but I know tea scale is common in camellias, might be some variation of that?

Yeah that fuzz looks like a wooly scale. Imidacloprid will do the job, just don’t wait too long because it can affect bees. Plenty of products available like Bayer’s Tree and Shrub, Protect and Feed.

Yeah I think it’s some kind of scale insect
I think that’s what these are
Here’s an LSU Ag article on dealing with with them

Appears it might be tea scale. I sprayed my camellias a couple days with imidachloprid, and will apply a imidachloprid or acephate soil drench (systemic translocation through the plant) to them later today. There are other treatment options. Few articles to read.

Thanks fellas, I ordered some BAYER ADVANCED Tree and shrub care to deal with it

Tea scale is the devil. You need a systemic, and you also need to manage the area beneath the camellias. Don’t mulch too deeply, and take steps to ensure good air circulation in the area (ie, trim neighboring shrubs). If those plants are under your drip line, consider installing a short piece of gutter to keep their leaves from constantly being damp from eaves dripping.

I had something similar on my camelias last year and they bayer worked great. I went ahead and gave them a light spray a few weeks ago to try and head off anything like this. So far so good.
