Red Fox Katsura

This weeping katsura is selected for its rich burgundy-purple spring foliage that matures to reddish-green through summer: a graceful weeping specimen with the katsura's characteristic sweet caramel fragrance from the autumn leaves.

• Flowers are insignificant but foliage emits a sweet fragrance.
• Heart-shaped leaves emerge burgundy-purple with a contrasting yellow-green veining.
• Leaf colour will fade to bluish-green by midsummer.
• Narrow, vase-shaped, dense shrub widens with maturity.
• Exfoliating gray-brown bark.
• Gold, orange and red fall colours are heightened in slightly acidic soils.
• Leaves emit an odour similar to cotton candy at certain times of the season.
• Commonly used for specimen.
• Grows best in full sun to partial shade.
