Is it common for this type of tree to skip a bloom? This is about 6 feet now and bloomed last year around June. This year we have seen no blooms. However a friend of ours picked off all the buds last year (without our permission). We planted the tree 3 summers ago. Thanks for any advice.
There is a thread on this site called "Stewartia rostrata " from 2004 that might help. found it here http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=75 liz
