Bold Fall Colors for Street or Shade
Why Katsura Trees?
The Katsura Tree is a gorgeous Asian shade tree that’s easy to grow and tolerant of most soil conditions and environments. From its high-quality autumnal colors to its effortless upkeep, the Katsura is the quintessential plant-and-forget shade tree.
Even better? It's pollution tolerant, with a shallow root system. That means it's perfect for lining streets since it filters the air and won't destroy sidewalks or streets with invasive, deep root systems.
And it gives off a subtle yet enticing aroma. Imagine walking in your yard in fall and noticing an alluring smell of caramelized sugar and cinnamon. As your non-invasive, pest and disease resistant tree grows, it will embody the warm feeling of autumn with its large, colorful leaves and seasonal scent.

Katsura tree
Very good. Tree arrived in a few days beautifully packaged. Rootball was in a nice burlap bag and it was securely tied to a stake. Three days after I planted and staked it we got a big storm including tornado warnings. It came through just fine. I am looking forward to seeing it become a gorgeous specimen. Thank you.
Tree was dormant when planted
Tree is starting to sprout and grow!
Tall and straight
Brought the 6-7feet one. The tree arrived tall and straight, and with a big root ball.
Great quality
Tree arrived fast, in great shape and with burlap bag ready to go in ground. It's been around 100 every day and the tree still looks great, I've just kept it watered.
Very positive experience
TMI incoming... My husband is trained in botany, horticulture and landscape design. He knows the Latin name for everything. He's always wanted a katsura. Even though Memphis is technically within the zone, you don't see them here. There's one at Rhodes College a few blocks down, but he really wanted one. So long story short, bought one from this website. Arrived stupid fast. He's planting it now. He's very excited. Giant win for me. It looks great. Fingers crossed it lives :)
