Cercidiphyllum japonicum
Cercidiphyllum japonicum, also known as the Katsura tree, is a graceful and fragrant ornamental tree, renowned for its heart-shaped foliage and spectacular autumn colors. Its young bronze-pink leaves turn bluish-green in summer, before blazing into golden yellow, orange, or pink in autumn, releasing a sweet scent reminiscent of maple syrup or warm caramel. Its naturally layered and elegant habit, combined with well-balanced growth, makes it ideal for solitary plantings, parks, or naturalistic gardens. Very hardy, it prefers cool, deep, well-drained soil, with partial shade or non-scorching sunny exposure. It is an exceptional tree, as decorative as it is sensory, perfect for refined Nordic landscapes.
