A very sub tropical looking tree, it remains a rarely seen tree in North America, but no longer rare, it can be found with little effort at better nurseries. Pricey perhaps, but then all good trees, are. I love the way the flowers drop off each day, and lay on the ground like fried eggs. Every evening, spent flowers tumble down to the ground at dusk. Some may think this habit an annoyingly messy one, but I sort of like it, imagining the forests in China and Korea, and how pretty their forest floors must look. Then again, I am hardly normal.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/stewartia2.jpg?resize=400%2C276&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_pVVcdosdNyY\/TBWavEja5sI\/AAAAAAAAFFo\/9m3yA3aYD9w\/s1600\/stewartia2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><\/a>Oh, lovely Stewartia, a special genus found both in Asia and rarely a couple species native to the the south easters states, is safely my favorite tree. It&#8217;s hard not to love a tree which looks good in all four seasons, muscular mottled branches in winter with pointed buds, brilliant autumn foliage, and flowers that bloom in summer that look like Camellia indeed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/stewartia3.jpg?resize=400%2C247&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Native to China, Korea &nbsp;and Japan, Stewartia are in the Theaceae family, or the tea family, for we all should know that black and green tea comes from Camellia sinensis, one can clearly see the similarities between these two genus. A bit fussy to get established, Stewartia trees are so worth growing, that you should find no problem as long as you plant them young. &nbsp;Five species are available in the trade now, with a few named forms. There are few well behaved decidous trees, but all Stewartia are about as sophisticated as one can get, with trees. Above, &nbsp;a Chinese Timber Bamboo grows through our 15 year old specimen growing next to the house. Funny thing, last year it decided to take a year off from blooming, but this year, it is loaded with flowers.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stewartia pseudocamellia, a camellia relative is hardy to at least zone 4.
