The tall stewartia, Stewartia monadelpha, is a beautiful deciduous tree that makes a handsome addition to the garden. Specimens are often multi-stemmed, which perfectly showcases its peeling, rust-coloured bark. Better still, in early summer white, camellia-like flowers emerge and are soon covered with bees. In autumn the leaves turn a spectacular shade of red before falling.
For best results, grow Stewartia monadelpha in full sun or partial shade in moist, humus-rich and well-drained soil.
