Cercidiphyllum japonicum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a moist woodland soil in a position free from spring frosts[1, 200]. Tolerates some lime but it is probably best in an acidic soil[200]. Dislikes dry soils[200]. Succeeds in full sun or semi-shade[188]. A very hardy plant, tolerating temperatures down to at least -20°c, but it prefers a continental climate and can be excited into premature growth in the mild maritime climate of Britain when the young growth is then very susceptible to frost damage[11, 188, 200]. There is usually no lasting harm from this damage[188]. Rarely more than a bush in much of Britain according to one report[1] whilst another says that there are trees 18 metres tall in W. Britain[11]. A fast growing tree, it tends to grow with a number of stems[200]. Plants produce richer autumn colours when grown on acid soils, the fallen leaves smell like burnt toffee[188]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. For further Cercidiphyllum japonicum gardening information |
