		Katsura Tree is a reliable and trouble-free performer, with no serious disease or insect problems.

		Trees provide food: Having a wide variety of trees that provide seeds, nuts and fruit for wildlife to eat is one way to increase your success in attracting wildlife.
		Trees that provide fall and winter foods are especially important in helping wildlife survive the winter, and to provide forage and cover for early-arriving spring migrants that may get caught in late-season bad weather.
		Trees may be broadly grouped into exogenous and endogenous trees according to the way in which their stem diameter increases.

		The tiny red buds of my favorite Katsura tree, Cercidiphyllum japonicum, are barely noticeable as I look from my kitchen window, but as I pass by it going in and out each day I see they fill the tiny olive-brown twigs.
		This medium-sized tree can reach 40 feet in height, making it the perfect choice for the smaller garden or for an area where you don't want or need a 100-foot-tall maple or oak.
		Leaves of both the species and weeping forms of the Katsura tree are very much alike, but when you see the beautiful blue-green, heart-shaped leaves falling from the even more incredible weeping specimens, it presents a whole new experience in beauty.

		Anticipating that some day the tree will come down, some parishioners have nurtured progeny of the tree that may be planted to renew the cycle.

	Detailed information on Katsura Tree Cercidiphyllum japonicum
		Katsura grows in cold areas much more little than where it's originally from (Japan.) There it might grow up to 40 metres high.
		The leaves are heart shaped, with a red tint in the spring, and the tree is pleasing to look at as a speciman any time of the year but the unusual quality of this tree is it's fall scent.
		The wonderful "secret" of this large wide-spreading shade tree is that its heart-shaped lvs, reddish when young, turn yel-or in fall & emit the delightful fragrance of caramel--an added touch of magic for fall.
