Description
Japanese Stewartia is a striking deciduous tree admired for its year-round ornamental appeal. In early summer, it puts on a floral display of large white blooms with bold orange centers, standing out beautifully against its forest green foliage. This elegant tree offers something special in every season—from colorful summer flowers to brilliant red fall foliage and stunning bark that steals the show in winter. With a mature height of 40 feet and a width of 30 feet, Japanese Stewartia makes a graceful focal point in any landscape.
Its exfoliating bark reveals a mosaic of cream, brown, and tan shades, creating unique visual interest even when the tree is bare. Adaptable to full sun, part sun, or full shade, Japanese Stewartia prefers consistently moist, well-draining acidic soil and benefits from protection against drying winds. Whether planted as a specimen tree or part of a woodland border, it adds a refined touch to the garden throughout the year.
