An incredible fall flush of acid yellow, rosy apricot and brilliant orange make this wonderful specimen tree a “must have” for a large full sun or part shade location; it may grow 60 feet tall by 50 feet wide. Should you wonder which neighbor is baking cinnamon rolls in late fall, wander over to your Katsura (Cerdiphyllum japonicum) and cherish the sweet brown sugar smell that it exudes. Endearing heart shaped leaves, brilliant fall colors and stomach-grumbling scents will make you want to add a bench beneath its branches.
If you enjoy the relaxing nature of weeping plants, Katsura can also be found as Cercidiphyllum japonicum ‘Morioka Weeping’.
