Japanese Stewartia 1 Live Ornamental Tree, 3 Gallon Pot – Stewartia pseudocamellia

Japanese Stewartia (Stewartia pseudocamellia) is a deciduous ornamental tree valued for its elegant form, white summer flowers, colorful autumn foliage, and distinctive exfoliating bark. Its camellia-like blossoms feature five white petals surrounding a prominent cluster of golden-yellow stamens, creating an attractive floral display against deep green leaves.

This ornamental tree develops an upright, broadly pyramidal to oval growth habit, gradually forming a graceful branching structure. During autumn, its foliage can turn shades of yellow, orange, red, and burgundy. As the tree develops, its bark becomes especially ornamental, peeling in irregular patches to reveal a mosaic of gray, cream, tan, and reddish-brown tones. These bark characteristics provide visual interest during the leafless winter season.

Japanese Stewartia generally performs best in full sun to partial shade, with protection from intense afternoon sunlight beneficial in warmer climates. It prefers fertile, organically rich, slightly acidic, consistently moist, well-drained soil. Its seasonal ornamental features make it suitable for specimen plantings, woodland garden edges, Japanese-inspired landscapes, and residential gardens.
