| The Japanese say, that a pruned well Camellia, it must allow the flight of a dove between the branches, without the wings touch the leaves. I have transplanted old Camelias. It is not difficult. But it can be expensive. Better to leave them to be and to prune enough the branches, up to reducing the size. In order that the "scale", does not continue attacking to your Camellias, it clarifies well his interior.
That your Camellias have a good ventilation. You are not to have afraid to cutting. Better to cut in the end moment of the flowering. Beside using the products adapted to eliminate what exists nowadays in your Camellias. An example: The old Camellias who were bordering on the building of the " File of Indians " in Asturias, were pruned very loudly, to be able to work. Today, the Camellias are recovered but with many minor height.
