Cercidiphyllum japonicum Claim Jumper ™ is a brand new
Japanese katsura tree that leafs out with deep burgundy
foliage that becomes more golden as the season
progresses. Protection from the hot afternoon sun in the
deep south and planting in wet locations may help
prevent burn on the leaves of this amazingly yellow
Japanese Katsura.
Claim Jumper™ is expected to reach 18-24 ft in 15
years. This selection by Eric Hammond is perhaps one of
the most strikingly gold Japanese katsura trees on the
market. Cercidiphylllum japonicum Claim Jumper ™
continues this bright golden yellow display from the time
the maroon leaves mature to yellow until the leaves drop
in the fall. Like most Japanese katsura trees, Claim
Jumper ™ provides a cotton candy smell in autumn when
the golden leaves fall off this katsura tree. Claim
Jumper™ is expected to be hardy in Zones 4-8.
