Cercidiphyllum japonicum

Description

Katsura Tree. A real treat. In the spring the foliage is a pretty bronze colour, opening to light green, heart shaped leaves. However in the autumn it really comes into it's own. The foliage turns an attractive mix of yellows, oranges and reds and as they fall you catch great wafts of sweet, burnt sugar. Plant it and watch as people pass it and try to work out where the small is coming from!! Height 3m (12ft).
