A 2021 Broken Arrow Nursery introduction that has been under evaluation for more than 20 years. The original plant is thought to have originated as a chance hybrid between the beaked stewartia (Stewartia rostrata) and the Japanese stewartia (S. pseudocamellia). In trials, plants have demonstrated impressive vigor gaining 12-18” annually with ascending branching and a notably upright framework. The twigs are muscular and grayish brown in color with mature stems developing some camouflage exfoliations of cream, salmon and brown when greater than 3” in diameter. Dark green leaves during the growing season provide a nice foil for the 1.5” creamy-white blossoms set off with an interior cluster of yellow stamens. Bloom time typically begins in late May to early June each year. In autumn, burgundy tones mixed with deep red create an attractive accent. The original plant has achieved a height of 18’ tall and 8’ wide over the first 20 years of growth.
