Description
Cercidiphyllum japonicum, known as the Katsura , is a species of flowering tree in the family Cercidiphyllaceae native to China and Japan. It is sometimes called Caramel tree for the light caramel smell it emits during leaf fall.
The tree is deciduous and grows to 10–45 metres tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 2 metres (rarely more).
The shoots are dimorphic, with long shoots forming the structure of the branches, and bearing short shoots from their second year onward. The leaves are produced in opposite pairs on long shoots, and singly on short shoots; they have a 1.4–4.7 cm petiole, and are rounded with a heart-shaped base and a crenate margin. Leaves on short shoots are larger, 3.7–9 cm long and 5–8.3 cm broad, and those on long shoots smaller, 3.2–4.5 cm long and 1.9–3.2 cm broad. The leaves turn a variety of pinks and yellows in autumn, and sometimes have a distinctive caramel scent when in fresh autumn colours. The flowers are inconspicuous, produced in early spring among the opening leaves, with male and female flowers on separate plants (dioecious). The fruit is a cluster of two to four follicles 1–1.8 cm long and 2–3 mm wide, each follicle containing several winged seeds.

Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. Sow stored seed in a greenhouse in late winter. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Layering in autumn. Takes 12 months. High percentage. Basal cuttings, 15cm long, taken from May to July. Harvest the shoots with plenty of underground stem.
