Cercidiphyllum japonicum
Description
The Katsura Tree, known botanically as Cercidiphyllum japonicum, is a deciduous tree native to Japan and China. It is admired for its heart-shaped leaves that turn a spectacular yellow to apricot in the fall, often accompanied by a sweet, candy-like fragrance. This tree is a popular choice for ornamental gardens due to its graceful form and vibrant seasonal color changes.
Suggested Uses
Katsura Trees are ideal for use as specimen trees in large gardens or parks. They can also be planted in groups for a stunning display of fall color. Their non-invasive root systems make them suitable for planting near patios or walkways.
