In autumn, the leaves transform into warm tones of gold, apricot, and soft orange, creating a striking seasonal display that makes this species a favorite among gardeners and landscapers.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis tree works beautifully as a specimen planting in lawns, courtyards, and mixed borders where its layered branching and elegant form can be appreciated. The foliage is also known to release a subtle, sweet scent reminiscent of caramel or burnt sugar as it matures and falls in autumn, adding a unique sensory element to the landscape. Its moderate growth habit and tolerance for a range of conditions make it a rewarding choice for temperate gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Cercidiphyllum japonicum\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Japanese Katsura Tree\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous ornamental tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, rounded canopy\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained, loamy soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Cold stratification recommended; sow in moist medium and keep cool\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow and lightly press into soil; do not bury deeply\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 20-30 feet apart at maturity\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Provide consistent moisture during establishment; best in sheltered positions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663222407304,"sku":"EXGA-658","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_8c119e49-0b94-41b1-b65f-59208fa35806.png?v=1791896078","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-cercidiphyllum-japonicum-japanese-katsura-tree-deciduous-ornamental","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
