Katsura Japanese Maple

Katsura Japanese Maple is a stunning ornamental tree prized for its delicate, finely-textured foliage and graceful weeping form. This cultivar displays soft yellow-green leaves in spring that transition to brilliant orange and red hues in autumn, creating a multi-season focal point in any garden. Reaching 15–20 feet at maturity with a spreading canopy, Katsura thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. Its elegant branching structure and compact growth habit make it ideal for smaller landscapes, woodland gardens, or as a specimen tree. Hardy in zones 5–8, this Japanese maple is relatively low-maintenance once established. Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape. Perfect for gardeners seeking year-round visual interest and a touch of Japanese garden elegance.
