Cercidiphyllum japonicum or Toffee Apple Tree was originally from Japan and China, introduced to the UK in the 1800’s. An attractive tree whit heart shaped leaves. Lovely autumn colours.
Water regularly to keep soil moist. Best grown in well drained, fertile and slightly acidic soils (for best leaf colour).
Doesn’t like being hard pruned so just trim back branches to keep the shape.
To thicken the trunk these are best grown in the ground. Then carefully dug up when ready.
