Cercidiphyllum japonicum f. pendulum is a rare graceful tree, with long, weeping branches clad with attractive heart-shaped leaves, bronzy when young, rich green in summer and yellow in autumn, giving off a characteristic scent of burnt sugar. Grows around 2-2.5m high and wide in 10 years, but eventually makes an impressive medium-sized tree. A fine specimen tree for a large lawn or the edge of a lake.
A hardy deciduous weeping tree. Thrives in heavy clay or any moist, humus-rich soil.
Eventual height and spread 10m x 12m.
