Jem destroyed Mrs. Dubose's camellia and snow-on-the-mountains with Scout's newly bought baton. He is later punished by having to read to Mrs. Dubose everyday. :)
Jem takes Scout's new baton and cuts off the tops of Mrs. Dubose's camellia bushes.
Bob Ewell in the bushes
Atticus was mad at Jem for destroying Mrs. Dubose's camellia bushes while playing a game called "Camel." Jem had to roll a tire past her house without touching it, but in his excitement, he accidently rolled it into her bushes.
Jem cuts the camellia bushes of Mrs. Dubose, a cantankerous elderly woman in "To Kill a Mockingbird." He cuts them as a punishment for his sister, Scout, following an altercation they had with Mrs. Dubose.
Mrs. Dubose is an angry old woman. She insults Jem's father, which makes Jem extremely angry. He grabs Scout's baton and attacks the flower bushes, breaking off the flowers. By the way, this is a REALLY good book- a lot of it is about Jem and Scout- you REALLY should read it- I'll bet you'd like it.

Yes, Jem did cut down Miss Maudie's camellia bushes in ''To Kill a Mockingbird''. It was done in retaliation for Miss Maudie's harsh comments about Atticus's shooting skills, and as a form of misguided revenge.
