Cercidiphyllum japonicum, commonly known as Katsura tree, is a deciduous tree native to Japan. It is a sought-after tree for gardens in the Irish climate due to its unique attributes and adaptability.

Height/Spread: Cercidiphyllum japonicum can reach a height of 40-60 feet (12-18 meters) with a spread of 30-40 feet (9-12 meters). It develops a rounded shape, providing ample shade and an attractive canopy.

Position: In the Irish climate, the Katsura tree thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate a range of soil types but prefers moist and fertile soil conditions.

Soil: Cercidiphyllum japonicum adapts well to various soil types, including loam, clay, and sandy soils. However, it thrives in well-drained soil that retains moisture. Proper soil preparation with organic matter is beneficial for its growth in the Irish climate.

Flowering Season: While the primary appeal of the Katsura tree lies in its vibrant foliage, it produces inconspicuous flowers in spring. The flowers are not the main highlight, but the tree makes up for it with its captivating autumn foliage display.

Uses: The Katsura tree is a prized ornamental tree in Irish gardens due to its exceptional attributes. Its heart-shaped leaves turn a stunning array of colors in autumn, ranging from golden yellow to orange and red, providing a visually striking spectacle. It also releases a delightful fragrance, often described as a mixture of caramel and cotton candy, which adds to its allure. Cercidiphyllum japonicum serves as an excellent shade tree and focal point in landscape designs, bringing beauty and interest to gardens in the Irish climate.
