Susan's Shrub and Tree Selections

The Japanese Stewartia isn't a Georgia native, but it should be. It thrives in our environment and offers botanical interest in all four seasons. In June, look for gorgeous white flowers with ruffled-edged petals and a warm buttery center.



The bark of the Stewartia is
smooth like snakeskin in a beautiful mix of warm reds
and grays that will peel off the trunk.







In the fall, you can expect yor Japanese Stewartia to blaze bright in a showy display of red; the counterpoint to the bronzy purple first leaves you will see in the spring.

We will receive 12 fresh out of the ground Japanese Stewartias on November 7th. These trees are lush and healthy having a very short stay at the nursery. Come out and see this lovely new tree or call to reserve your trees today.
