Schima superba seed

LATIN NAME: Schima superba

COMMON NAME: Schima Tree

The schima sets the glossy, leathery leaves and the small, white, cup-shaped flowers with the fine, golden stamens, and the whole tree stands in the fine, evergreen crown of the warm garden. The sturdy, evergreen tree carries the simple, oval, pointed, glossy, leathery, dark-green leaves and the small, white, cup-shaped flowers with the many fine, golden stamens, opening a few at a time through the late summer, one of the fine, quiet sights of the warm garden, drawing the bees, to be followed by the small, round, woody, brown capsules. The fine, strong wood has a very long record as the fine, hard wood of the old workshops, and the tree is a fine, historic presence of the warm garden. It is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The schima is a historic subject of the plant science, and the woody capsules keep showing up in the work on the broad-leaved trees. The way the small, white, cup-shaped flowers with the many fine, golden stamens open a few at a time on the glossy leaves has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the broad-leaved trees, the leathery leaves and the members of the tea family. The golden stamens and the sturdy habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the schima is a regular subject of the work on the woody capsules of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The schima is a fine, quiet tree of the warm garden and the study collection. The simple, oval, pointed, glossy, leathery, dark-green leaves carry the fine, evergreen look of the warm garden, one of the fine, quiet sights of the warm garden, drawing the bees, and the fine, strong wood has a very long record as the fine, hard wood of the old workshops, the hard wood coming to the fine, strong articles, the furniture and the timber of the old workshops, while the small, white, cup-shaped flowers with the many fine, golden stamens open a few at a time through the late summer, to be followed by the small, round, woody, brown capsules. It is one of the fine choices for the warm garden, the avenue and the study collection, and it has been written about in the botanical and the forestry papers for the strong wood and the very long history. It is a fine, quiet tree of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained garden.

The schima seeds prefer a rich, gritty mix with steady warmth and bright light. Once the young trees put on their first leathery leaves, they grow on steadily in the deep, moist ground, and they enjoy a sheltered corner while they are small.

To grow the schima from seed, sow the small, winged, brown seeds sparingly over the surface of the deep tray of rich, gritty soil, leave them uncovered, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then pot the young trees on as they fill the pot. The seedlings appear within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the warmth and the deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground, the evergreen crown will rise over the years.
