The Stewartia pseudocamellia is slow-growing to about 25 feet high and 12 feet wide, perfect for small yards. It does best in part shade but will tolerate full sun and requires organic, well-drained soil.
The best thing about Stewartia pseudocamellia is that it truly is a four-season tree. The flowers are beautiful during summer and the fall color is an outstanding red-orange. As the tree ages the bark becomes mottled with pink, rust, and grey. It also has nice branch-structure.
