Cercidiphyllum Japonicum Morioka Weeping

Cercidiphyllum japonicum ‘Morioka Weeping’ is a graceful, narrowly weeping form of katsura tree selected in Japan for its elegant cascading branches. Heart-shaped blue-green leaves emerge early in spring, turn soft yellow to apricot in fall, and often release a subtle caramel fragrance as they drop. It grows best in full sun to partial shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil and a steady, moderate growth rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it typically reaches 20–30 feet tall while remaining quite narrow, making it a striking vertical specimen for smaller gardens.
