Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Weeping Katura tree is native to China and Japan. It is deciduous, multi-trunked with ovate leaves. Fall colors are yellows, oranges, and reds even smelling cinnamon-like.
Although in culture for over 300 years at a Buddhist temple in Japan, this lovely tree is still somewhat rare; its arching pendulous branches resemble those of a weeping willow. S/M
Sort of a large haystack of foliage in summer. Our original tree from Hollandia Nursery came to us in the 70's and is now 25'x30' and never forms a leader. Makes a glorious show year round.
Very similar to C. magnificum 'Pendulum' but has a slightly tighter habit and smaller bluish green leaves. Growth Rate slow to medium
Heart-shaped leaves emerge red-purple turn blue- green. Yellow-red fall. Rounded form. Zones 4 to 8.
