Relatively fast growing, small to medium size tree with very pendulous branches, creating a broad, weeping shape. Can eventually grow 8 m tall and at least as broad. The bark is grey, peeling in strips when mature. The almost round leaf is light bronze-green on emerging, turning (blue-)green in summer. The autumn colour is brownish yellow to orange-yellow. As typical for the species, the falling leaf has a pleasantly spicy/cinnamon scent. Was already being cultivated in the 17th century at a Buddhist temple on the Japanese island of Honshu. Thrives in loose, preferably loamy soil. Poor tolerance to drought. The spring leaf is sensitive to night frosts. Primarily for use as a solitary tree in a large garden or park.
