I planted 14 camillia bushes last fall. They were doing fine until our April 07 snowstorm, and now two of them look utterly dead from the frost that turned all of them brown and damaged looking. Then the summer heat hit. I've been watering daily (as we're in near drought now) and 12 of them are looking a bit green again (some more than others) but they haven't got a good healthy look. I've fed them twice, but wonder about the watering and what I might do to help them. Also are the two sticks that look dead really dead or is there a prayer that I could cut them back and they'd regrow? Should I be pruning the leafless branches on the ones still alive? Help!!
I feel like I've neglected them (during the frost) and would very much like to save them.
