But if not, maybe start there, and then expand to other nearby towns?

I have bought from Stark Brothers in the past but the ones you get locally at Home Depot / Lowes are larger and usually produce quicker. Personally I wait till the end of the year (usually Oct-Nov) and you can pick up the 1 gallons ones for $3 each and the 3 gallons ones for about $6 each. Few years back I asked how much if I took all over of them and they sold me 28 plants for $28.

they have them at Home Depot right now.

Are you serious? Thank you for letting me know

Deerfield Nursery couple of miles north of Folsom has them. They have a website.
$7.00 for gallon and $10.00 for 3 gallon.

The gallon plants are really nice size and cheaper than what you would normally find at the box stores' for same size.

Once they get established, light applications of azalea/camellia food (none close to the base of the plants) a few times a year and plenty of pine straw around them and they will take off.

LSU AG website has all the info you need.

Call Deerfield first as they sell a lot of them

Fun fact: Camellia sinensis var. sinensis and Camellia sinensis var. assamica, are two major varieties grown today.[2] White tea, yellow tea, green tea, oolong, dark tea (which includes pu-erh tea) and black tea are all harvested from one or the other, but are processed differently to attain varying levels of oxidation. Kukicha (twig tea) is also harvested from Camellia sinensis, but uses twigs and stems rather than leaves. Wikipedia
