Stewartia pseudo-camellia


 

Stewartia pseudocamellia (Theaceae)



A native of Japan and introduced by Messrs Veitch to the UK.  It was previously cultivated in the US and France where it flowered for the first time in 1878.

A beautiful medium sized tree bearing glamourous, camellia like flowers with yellow anthers in mid summer.  It has distinctive peeling bark and good autumn colour too.
 A superb speciman tree.
