Dirr says: "is known by this author from the specimen that grows along the Chinese Walk at the Arnold Arboretum. A large, upright shrub to 15' (40' in the wild) with gray-brown ridged-and-furrowed bark similar to S. ovata (Mountain Stewartia). To my knowledge, not well-known in botanic gardens or commerce. The overall appearance and flower are more like American species but more easily cultured than them."
