Katsura Tree is a deciduous, single or multi-trunked, understory tree with a dense, rounded habit. It typically matures to 40 to 60 feet in cultivation, but can reach 100 feet or more in the wild. It is grown for its beautiful shape and its attractive foliage. Round-oval leaves (to 4 inches long) resemble those of a small redbud (Cercis = redbud genus and phyllon= Greek for leaf). Leaves emerge reddish purple in spring, mature to medium green with a slight bluish tinge in summer and turn quality shades of gold, orange and red in fall. Although not aromatic, the fallen autumn leaves have been varyingly described as smelling of cinnamon, burnt sugar or ripe apples. Dioecious (male and female flowers are on separate trees). Male trees are more upright, female trees are more spreading. Tiny reddish flowers appear in spring but are not showy. Pollinated flowers on female trees are followed by clusters of greenish pods (to ¾ inch long).
