Not a huge tree. 40 to 60 feet high, maybe 20 feet wide. Doesn't drop nuts or gum balls or other junk. Beautiful leaves, nice fall color. pretty gray bark.  -  Monday, March 30, 2009 Katsura Reviewed By: Brenda (Kelowna, B.C.) Katsura is a lovely, ever changing tree that does well planted as an understory tree in my garden. I bought one, planted it and loved it so much I went back to the nursery and bought 2 more! I have also cloned this tree. It is a beautiful tree for any setting or garden style and is so far pretty easy to keep happy.  -  Friday, June 19, 2009 High hopes Reviewed By: kc (jackson, ca) I was very excited to be able to purchase this 3-4' tree!!! BUT, when shipped, the newspaper dried out, as did the roots. I soaked it for 24 hrs like other said on this site, but it only leafed out on the bottom 4 inches, if that.
