Description
Introducing Japanese Stewartia, an exquisite ornamental tree prized for its elegant form and seasonal beauty. Native to Japan, this small to medium-sized deciduous tree boasts smooth, mottled bark that exfoliates to reveal patches of orange, gray, and brown, creating year-round interest in the landscape.
Japanese Stewartia delights with its showy, camellia-like white flowers that bloom in summer, complemented by striking red and orange foliage in autumn. Its multi-season appeal makes it a standout choice for gardens, parks, and larger landscapes.
Ideal as a specimen tree or focal point, Japanese Stewartia thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and prefers partial shade to protect its delicate blooms from intense sun. Its moderate growth rate and compact size make it suitable for urban gardens and smaller yards, offering a touch of elegance and sophistication.
