Cercidiphyllum japonicum, commonly known as the Katsura Tree, is a beautiful ornamental tree, supplied as an XL approximately 40–50cm tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. Renowned for its attractive heart-shaped foliage and exceptional seasonal colour, it is an excellent choice for instant gardening, providing immediate structure, foliage interest and a strong foundation for future growth.
The Katsura Tree is particularly prized for its changing foliage throughout the seasons. New leaves emerge in attractive bronze to reddish-purple tones, maturing to fresh blue-green during summer before developing spectacular yellow, orange, apricot and pinkish autumn shades. As the leaves colour and fall, they are also well known for producing a distinctive sweet scent often compared to burnt sugar or caramel.
At approximately 40–50cm tall and established in a generous 5 litre pot, this is a substantial nursery-grown tree offering an excellent head start over smaller young plants. Its elegant growth and outstanding foliage make it ideal for feature planting, lawns, larger borders, woodland-style gardens and seasonal colour schemes, where it can develop into a magnificent long-term specimen.
