Cercidiphyllum japonicum

Cercidiphyllum japonicum or katsura tree is also called heart tree or Judas leaf tree in Dutch. It is a fairly large tree or multi-stemmed shrub with a pyramidal first and later broad oval regular crown. This shrub blooms in April, May with red male and pinkish white female flowers; but the real attraction is undoubtedly the beautiful foliage changes throughout the seasons, ranging from bronze, red to blue-green to yellow, pink, orange and red in the fall. The leaves also give off a caramel-like perfume. Cercidiphyllum is moderately hardy and air pollution tolerant.
