There are few sights and smells more arresting in the garden than a Katsura or 'Toffee Apple' Tree in mid-autumn. An elegant, ornamental tree, its heart-shaped green leaves turn shades of yellow, purple, pink and red before falling to the ground and releasing a distinctive and alluring fragrance that's similar to fairground candy floss or sweet toffee apple, hence its name, Heavenly! Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence and it will return year after year getting bigger and better for many years to come. The Katsura Tree will grow to around 5m in a decade and can eventually reach 15m so should be planted where it has room to show off. It will do well in either a really sunny spot or in light shade and for a breath-taking display of autumn colour, plant in moist, well drained soils
