Description

Native to Japan and China, the Katsura Tree is a deciduous understory tree with a dense, rounded habit typically matures to 40-60′ in height but can reach over 100′ in the wild. It is grown for its beautiful shape and its attractive foliage that resembles those of a small redbud. Leaves emerge reddish purple in spring, mature to medium green with a slight bluish tinge in summer and turn quality shades of gold, orange and red in fall. Although not aromatic, the fallen autumn leaves have been varyingly described as smelling of cinnamon, burnt sugar or ripe apples.
