Katsura Tree

Cercidiphyllum japonicum

This graceful ornamental tree is prized for its heart-shaped leaves that emerge reddish-purple in spring, mature to blue-green in summer, and turn brilliant yellow to orange in autumn while releasing a distinctive caramel-cotton candy fragrance.

  • Densely branched, with an upright to rounded crown.
  • Round-oval leaves emerge reddish-purple in the spring, maturing to medium green.
  • Fall foliage is a mix of gold, orange and red.
  • Leaves emit an odour not unlike cotton candy, at certain times of the season.
  • Commonly used for specimen.
  • Grows best in full sun to partial shade.
