Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Pendula': 'Pendula' Katsuratree

Weeping Katsuratree grows best in a sunny exposure and in a moist soil, but is considered drought-tolerant once established. The tree reaches a height of 15 to 30 feet with a cascading irregular canopy and spectacular yellow with some red fall color. New growth is reddish turning a light pale green. The growth rate is moderately rapid when young but slows down with age. The tree often has a shallow root system. The trunk normally flares out at the base, gracefully dividing into the numerous shallow roots often prominent at the soil surface.
