From Holland, where it was selected for its gorgeous deep strawberry-red autumn color (with a bit in spring, as well), this delightful shade tree produces the same caramel fragrance in autumn when its heart-shaped leaves fall. S/M
This Katsura tree has the typical foliage each spring and summer. In other words the foliage is the usual gorgeous purple in spring followed by dark green in summer. The fall foliage is yellow with rich pink overtones. The fall foliage also has the typical sweet scent.
