Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Originally thought to be a dwarf. This katsura tree is perhaps smaller than the species. Our 12' tree is 30 years old. The yellow fall color is lovely.
This more compact version of one of our favorite trees makes a neat rounded globe (eventually to 15-20') with the same handsome heart-shaped foliage green-blue in summer turning bright yellow-to-red fall colors and brown-sugar fragrance. S/M
Heronswood Globe is a shorter denser rounder (hence 'globe') Katsura. It needs moisture in summer and not much wind.
Compact rounded tree to 15' tall and wide. Pale yellow and apricot in autumn. Dying heart-shaped leaves have the delicious fragrance of strawberries or caramel.
