Plant Description

Stewartia rostrata is a deciduous tree or large shrub admired for its ornamental bark, elegant flowers, and striking autumn foliage. At the 15-30 cm size, this young plant is just beginning to show its potential, with smooth, exfoliating bark that reveals shades of cinnamon, brown, and gray. The leaves are ovate and dark green, turning to vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall. In late spring to early summer, Stewartia rostrata produces cup-shaped white flowers with a hint of pink, featuring prominent yellow stamens. This tree is prized for its year-round interest, particularly in small gardens or as a specimen tree.
