5 Seeds Schima superba Evergreen Tree Ornamental White Flowers

Schima superba, also known as the Chinese Guger Tree, is a striking evergreen tree prized for its glossy, dark green foliage and abundant, showy white flowers that appear in late spring to early summer. Each bloom features a cheery cluster of yellow stamens, creating a beautiful contrast against the leaves. This hardy tree makes a wonderful focal point for larger gardens, parks, or woodland settings, offering year-round structure and seasonal visual interest.
It thrives in a sheltered position with well-drained soil, and is best used as a specimen tree or for naturalized planting where its graceful form can be appreciated. As it matures, it develops an attractive, fissured bark that adds winter texture. Growth is moderately fast, and the tree responds well to regular watering during dry spells. This is a rewarding choice for gardeners seeking a resilient, elegant tree with a touch of exotic charm.
