Could you please help me identify this small tree? I found it in a private garden in my town. Thanks in advance.
It's a Camellia japonica cultivar or hybrid. There are thousands of different types of them. I have images of a few of the most popular at http://www.botanicalstockphotos.com/photos-japonica-camellia-1414.htm .
The Web Camellia Register lists more than 20000 Camellia cultivars, of which most are derived from C. japonica, so unfortunately I doubt anyone can tell the precise cultivar.
