Another tree I could not be without. The Katsura has an understated elegance evident – never gauche, gaudy or noisy, always in elegant landscape fashion with a pyramidal habit in youth, pyramidal oval to rounded in maturity with a brown slightly shaggy bark that is lovely in all seasons. The young leaves emerge a beautiful bronzy purple, fading to light green and then blue-green, and turn rich yellow to apricot hues in the fall that is stunning. The dying fall leaves give off a fabulous, spicy caramel, cotton candy fragrance that is absolutely delicious.
