| Is it spring yet? I have a stewartia that seems to have an identity crisis. When it was younger it seemed one side grew with just a little bit more vigor and leafed out a day or two earlier. Blooms have always looked the same on both sides, but now that it's bark is starting to peel it looks even more two sided. I always figured cuttings were a quicker way to propagate these things, but mine really looks like a pair of seedlings that have grown together. |

| I think it's all one tree. Bark is that of Stewartia pseudocamellia. |

| mature bark is age related.. and the width of the trunks indicates that each is at least a year younger than the bigger ones ... the odds of two plants fusing together.. are low to nil.. i would bet my nickle.. the others will follow suit in a year or two .... ken |

| Just thought I'd post a picture again of the tree leafing out. It's still going through its Dr Jekyll/ Mr Hyde thing with the right side leafing out while the left side lags a few days behind. |
