About the Katsura Tree
|
One of the most beautiful ornamental trees. Often low-branching
or multi-trunked, Katsura may have either a pyramidal or
wide-spreading growth habit. Small, heart shaped leaves are
bronzy in the spring, blue-green in summer, and turn shades of
apricot, yellow and purple in the fall. The autumn leaves
sometimes give off a “brown sugar” aroma |
