Any chance you have a close up shot of how you evaluate bud status for timing re-pots on stewartia?
I have one that's new to me, and I'm seeing buds move but not certain what the 'magic moment' is to do some heavy root work. Thanks!

Here’s what mine looked like last night just after repotting. Some green just peeking through.

Just went to Dave's field again and dug 3 five-year old ones plus a trident maple and a bald cypress! Took four and half hours to pot them all up but it was worth it!
Beautiful tree Brian! Read through the whole thread but could not find what type of soil you have it in. I have a small one I am potting and would like to know what is recommended...

Just starting to get going…think this pot is a good match.

Agree heartily. And in fall color it will be even better. Niiiice.

Any advice on healing big wounds/chops for stewartia? Do they behave like maples essentially or have you done anything special to get it to heal chops and/or big cuts? Much appreciated!

Mine healed big cuts pretty quickly. I used cut paste.

Same here and use cut paste as well. They behave similarly to maples. Great tree BTW!

Light trim. Lots of flower buds this year.

Kinda cool night shot. Lots of buds, but nothing open quite yet.

Can't wait to see it bloom in this pot. I really adore the Shuho.
