Stewartia sinensis

A superlative Chinese tree with exceptionally beautiful bark. This hardy, deciduous, small to medium sized tree has stone cold, paper thin, pinkish coloured bark that darkens to an earthy red-pink in autumn and peels off to reveal the pale beige new layer - GORGEOUS. White Camellia-like, fragrant flowers are seen in summer. For not too dry, light acid soil. Superb in woodland.
