Cercidiphyllum Japonicum |

The Cercidiphyllum Japonicum is commonly
known as the Katsura Tree. The genus is native to Japan and China.
NOTE:
Cercidiphyllum
is a genus containing two species of plants, both commonly called Katsura.
They are the sole members of the Cercidiphyllaceae family.
The Cercidiphyllum
Japonicum can reach 150 feet in height, and is one of the largest
hardwoods in Asia.
However, the Cercidiphyllum
Magnificum is much smaller, rarely reaching over 30 feet in
height.
The Katsura Tree is grown as an ornamental
tree for its delicate heart shaped leaves and bright autumn color, a mix
of bright yellow, pink and orange-red.
Where conditions are suitable, it is fast-growing,
but it is very sensitive to drought and needs deep, permanently moist soil.
Under drought conditions, the species will abscise its leaves, however
refoliation may occur once water is made available. Of particular interest
is the scent produced by the leaves in the autumn, resembling burnt brown
sugar or cotton candy.
Katsura is the Japanese name for the tree.
The scientific name Cercidiphyllum refers to the close resemblance of the
leaves to those of Cercis (redbuds); these two unrelated genera can however
be distinguished easily as redbud leaves are alternate, not opposite.
