Stewartia pseudocamellia
Japanese stewartia
Notes:
None of the Stewartia spp. are actually recommended for Sunset zone 37 (stop at 34 and 39), but the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown has a fine mature specimen.
Give afternoon shade. Difficult to establish except when young.
Var. koreana has been awarded the PHS Gold Medal Award.
