C209: Cercidiphyllum japonicum

Katsura tree, Cercidiphyllum japonicum, is grown for its attractive deciduous foliage that makes a superb autumn display of both colour and scent. In spring, the rounded to heart-shaped leaves are fresh coppery green or pinkish in colour, maturing to mid green through the summer. Tiny red flowers are borne in spring, but these are almost insignificant. Come autumn, the leaves develop beautiful autumn colours of yellow or pink and also give off a wonderful scent of burnt sugar, which is why it is sometimes known as the ‘candyfloss tree’. Katsura tree originates from Japan and China.
