Description
A show stopper in spring and changing colors throughout the seasons, Katsura is a spectacular Japanese maple that deserves a spot in any garden. Spring leaves emerge a brilliant chartreuse to yellow with orange and red highlights rimming the edges. The color transitions to bright chartreuse to light green in summer finally turning to attractive shades of orange, gold and scarlet in fall. At 10 to 15 feet in height with a spread around 10 to 12 feet Katsura is a good fit for smaller garden spaces and in containers. It’s natural habit is an upright vase with loose branching however responds well to pruning for a more dense form if desired. Ease in growing, good heat tolerance, smaller size, and year round color makes Katsura a fine selection in sun o shade that won’t disappoint!
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Katsura Japanese Maple is best used as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant her in groupings of three or plant one on both sides of an entryway to accentuate the entrance. Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai.
Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when selecting companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcover plants that won’t interfere with or overcrowd your tree.
Growing Preferences
Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow.
In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, you can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here, of which Katsura is one.
Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
