weeping katsura tree

I've had this weeping katsura tree for 35 years. I never sold it because there was an issue with the bark but here it is four decades later in the full glory of awesome spring clothing. Katsura grow all summer long resulting in a LOT of growth yearly but the vertical ascent on the weeper is only a little, with the rest of the new growth cascading downwards like a waterfall. 

Katsura, or cercidophyllum japonica 'pendula' is native to Japan, and is a magnificent tree with rounded foliage that overlaps each progressive leaf as they descend down the branch like the old fashioned chain mail armor creating a very interesting look. The leaves seem to be resistant to insects and disease as I have never had to spray any katsura for any ailment.
