A graceful plant with a uniform crown. It can be grown as a specimen tree or multi-stemmed clump. A rare bonus in a tree: Cercidiphyllum prefer soils with high pH.
The leaf of the katsura tree resembles the leaf of a redbud tree (Cercis), hence the name Cercidiphyllum (Cercis = redbud genus and phyllon = Greek for leaf).
Cercidiphyllum are dioecious. (Separate male and female plants).
