Few sights and smells will stop you in your tracks quite like those of a Katsura, or 'Toffee Apple' Tree, in the middle of autumn.
An elegant, ornamental tree with heart-shaped green leaves that turn shades of yellow, purple, pink and red before falling to the ground and releasing a distinctive and alluring fragrance that is remarkably similar to fairground candy floss or sweet toffee apple - hence its name. Heavenly!
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence and it will return year after year getting bigger and better for many years to come.
The Katsura Tree will grow to around 5m tall across a decade, eventually reaching an immensely impressive 15m, so should be planted where it has room to really show off. It will do well in either a really sunny spot or light shade, so for a superb display of autumn colour, plant in moist, well-drained soil. A perfect specimen tree, plant Katsura for reliable pleasure, year after year.
Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant.
