Post subject:  Anyone have experience with Stewartia

My local garden centre has a few Stewartia pseudocamellia looking a bit worse for wear.
however the leaves these look quite large. 2.5 inches +
Q. will they miniaturise enough in time as a bonsai?

He has priced them at £35 but I think they could be knocked down to a tenner or so as they have been there for yonks.
I really admired a Stewartia at Greenwood a couple of years ago (don't know if it was pseudocamellia though)

Anyone have much experience with this species?
Any tips?
thanks PJ

I'm not 100% sure,but think Stewartia monadelpha is used more for bonsai than pseudocamellia.

Thanks Guys.
Yes I did know that monodelpha was perhaps more common.
A quick scan of the web has not come up with much info except that monodelpha is better and that the Stewartia p. leaves are larger. So I thinks I will give it a miss until I know more.
Thanks
