Cercidiphyllum japonicum, also known as the Japanese Judas Tree or Katsura Tree, is a species of flowering tree native to China and Japan. With a quick-growing habit, it can reach heights of 40 to 60 feet. In spring, its new bronzy purple leaves are backlit by the sun, creating a stunning and elegant effect. As the tree matures, its leaves become a blue-green shade and are roughly heart-shaped. It is a highly valued timber used for furniture, interior finishes of buildings, boxes, and more. This beautiful tree is a great specimen for parks, large lawns, and golf courses, and can also be used as a street tree. In autumn, the leaves turn a variety of pinks and yellows, giving off a unique caramel scent. This highly prized tree is a must-have for any landscape.
