Description

Acer palmatum ‘Katsura’ is a compact, deciduous tree with a rounded shape.

Native to Japan, it brings seasonal interest throughout the year. In early spring, its soft orange-yellow leaves emerge, gradually turning fresh green by summer. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into a brilliant mix of yellows and oranges, creating a striking focal point in any garden.

Moreover, Acer Katsura thrives in moist, well-drained soil and is remarkably low-maintenance. While it prefers partial shade, it can also tolerate full sun in cooler regions.

Reaching around 4 metres in height and 3 metres in width, ‘Katsura’ is perfect for small gardens, courtyards, or large decorative pots. Its versatility and vibrant colour make it a popular choice for landscape design.
