Cerciciphyllum japonica 'Morioka'

(Weeping Katsura Tree)

This selection is somewhat similar to Cercidiphyllum japonicum Pendula but the overall growth habit will be taller than broad. It is a vigorous grower and can reach 40-50' with a spread of 20-30' over the course of its considerable lifetime.  Expect its growth in ten years to be 15 to 25 feet tall with a slightly less spread. 

This is not a tree for the small garden, but spectacular when given the room.  As a young tree 'Morioka Weeping'; will grow vigorously with strong vertical growth and be only moderately weeping. As it matures and the growth rate slows, plants will exhibit the weeping form more strongly. The new spring leaves emerge with reddish-purple cast and quickly take on a lovely blue-green color through the summer.   In the fall, the leaves gives off a spicy, cinnamon aroma as they turn a golden-yellow color.

Full sun or light shade. Needs adequate moisture until established, but then quite adaptable in zones 4-8. Either propagated by cuttings or grafted on C. japonicum.

'Wright Brothers' Maple was developed by the folks at Siebenthaler Nursery in Dayton, Ohio. This is a fast growing Sugar Maple which is resistant to frost cracks and sunscald, and tends to have more of a red fall color than the other Sugars. 'Wright Brothers' is also resistant to leaf scorch and is hardy to-35 F. The growth rate is said to be twice as fast as the species.

Fall color is excellent, as are all the Sugar Maple cultivars. It has a tendency to keep a straight single leader and branching is abundant and branching angles are large enough to avoid included bark in crotches.
