Its leaves are more rounded at the tip than the relatively heart-shaped leaves of the eastern redbud. The tree often forms multi-trunked colonies that are covered in bright pink flowers in early spring (February - March). White-flowered variants are in cultivation. It buds only once a year.

Most Catalpa are deciduous trees; they typically grow to 12–18 metres (40–60 ft) tall, with branches spreading to a diameter of about 6–12 metres (20–40 ft). They are fast growers and a 10-year-old sapling may stand about 6 metres (20 ft) tall. They have characteristic large, heart-shaped leaves, which in some species are three-lobed.
The leaves are alternate, simple, and heart shaped with an entire margin, 7–12 cm (3–4.5 in) long and wide, thin and papery, and may be slightly hairy below. The flowers are showy, light to dark magenta pink in color, 1.5 cm ( 1 ⁄ 2 in) long, appearing in clusters from spring to early summer, on bare stems before the leaves, sometimes on ...
The leaves are deciduous, opposite (or whorled), large, heart shaped, 18–30 cm (7.1–11.8 in) long and 13–21 cm (5.1–8.3 in) broad, pointed at the tip and softly hairy beneath. [5] The leaves generally do not color in autumn before falling; instead, they either fall abruptly after the first hard freeze, or turn a slightly yellow-brown ...
Cercidiphyllum magnificum, known as the large-leaf katsura [2] or magnificent katsura tree, [3] is a species of flowering tree in the family Cercidiphyllaceae native to Honshu, Japan. It is sometimes called caramel tree for the light, sweet smell it emits during leaf fall, sometimes compared to cotton candy (candyfloss) or "freshly baked ...
This tree grows 10–25 m (33–82 ft) tall, with large heart-shaped to five-lobed leaves 15–40 cm (6–16 in) across, arranged in opposite pairs on the stem. On young growth, the leaves may be in whorls of three and be much bigger than the leaves on more mature growth. [13] The leaves can be mistaken for those of the catalpa.
The leaves have a strong, sweet smell in the fall, described as caramel or Madeira cake-like. The smell comes from a combination of maltol and a sugary compound in the leaves and is strongest when they are brown. [3] In German, Cercidiphyllum trees are named after their scent; Kuchenbaum or Lebkuchenbaum ("pie tree" or "gingerbread tree"). [3] [4]
The leaves are large, bright green and heart shaped, being 20–30 cm (8–12 in) long and 15–20 cm (6–8 in) broad. They appear late, and as they are full-grown before the flower clusters open, they add much to the beauty of the blossoming tree.
