Various Names

Cercidiphyllum Japonicum has multiple Dutch names such as Katsura tree, Heart tree, and Cookie tree.

Leaf Shape and Color

The name Heart tree comes from the heart-shaped leaves that appear on the tree in spring. The leaves have a beautiful oval shape and are green, which turns into a gorgeous yellow-orange to red color in autumn before falling from the tree.

Growth

This beautiful young Katsura tree (Cerdiphyllum japonicum) is a medium-sized tree that can reach a height of 6-10 meters in adulthood.

Fruits

The fruits of the Katsura tree are brown pods. These appear in autumn and contain small seeds. Although these fruits are not edible for humans, they are an attractive food source for birds and other animals.

Smell of the Tree

When the leaves have fallen off, a peculiar smell resembling cookies is released. Hence, the name Cookie tree.

How to plant the tree?

Determine the final location of the tree and ensure it is free from cables, debris, old plants, and other obstacles that may hinder the tree's growth.
Dig a planting hole that is twice the width of the root ball. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the planting hole and mix the excavated soil with (organic) garden soil or planting substrate.
Adjust the planting hole to the height where the root ball fits and firmly press the soil.
Fill the planting hole with water and wait for it to settle. Check if the root ball is sufficiently moist.
Place the tree or plant in the planting hole. It is extremely important that the tree is not planted too deep, as this can cause root rot.
Insert a tree stake or bamboo stake firmly into the ground on the side of the tree where the most wind comes from.
Now, place the watering ring or create a mound of soil around the tree so that water can seep into the ground.
