Cercidiphyllum Japonica care
Plant the Cercidiphyllum Japonica in a sunny, partially shaded area where the foliage will produce the best colours in full sun, sheltered from strong cold winds and with moist, well drained soils makes for a stunning shrub. Generally disease and pest free and requiring minimal pruning makes a good plant for both beginner and expert gardeners alike. In winter, simply remove any dead or damaged branches to encourage a healthy, bushy growth in the following seasons.
