‘Katsura' is a dense, compact, cultivar that is most noted for its beautiful spring foliage. Small, palmate, 5-lobed leaves (to 1" long) emerge chartreuse with orange-tinted margins in spring, mature to bright green by summer and finally turn pastel shades of orange and yellow in fall. Leaf lobes are lanceolate with slender tips and shallow-toothed margins. 'Katsura' typically grows in a vase-shaped form to 4-6' tall over the first 10 years, but gradually becomes more rounded with age as it matures to 10-12' tall.
