Cercidiphyllum have rounded leaves which
typically color well in autumn when the dying leaves emit the powerful and
pleasant fragrance of bonfire toffee or caramelized sugar. They are long
lived trees, growing to medium stature in a normal lifetime, but in
favorable conditions are destined to become large specimens.
