Description
Japanese Maple – Katsura (Acer Palmatum Katsura) is a deciduous tree renowned for its captivating seasonal color transformation. Thriving in Zones 5 to 9, it adapts well to both full sun and part sun, preferring moist, well-draining soil. This vase-shaped tree grows to a mature height and width of around 15 feet, making it an ideal focal point for gardens of all sizes.
In spring, the Katsura Maple’s leaves emerge in a vibrant yellow hue, transitioning to a soft chartreuse through the summer, and finally to a brilliant orange in the fall, providing a stunning display of autumn color. The lobed palmate leaves offer texture and visual interest, while subtle corymbs of red flowers in mid-spring add a beautiful contrast to the foliage. Whether planted alone or as part of a mixed garden, this tree brings a sophisticated touch to any landscape.
