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 arrived and is planted
Overall experience was good. The tree had a few small branches broken off, but was otherwise healthy and seems to be adapting to my back yard
2 years in. Great tree!
I bought and planted a Katsura tree from this site almost 2 years ago. It hasn’t grown super fast but I’m hopeful that means the roots are getting well established. I love it though! My only complaint is that it’s still a bit more narrow than I would prefer but I am hoping with time it will grow outwards as well. As it stands, it isn’t doing much in the shade department. But it’s still beautiful and the arena can’t be beat!
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.
