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.
Generally, the bigger the number, the bigger the price, the bigger the plant.
Plants with a number sign (#) followed by a number are roughly equivalent to gallon pot sizes (i.e. #2 = 2 gallon, #3 = 3 gallon and so on). These plants are sold in containers.
Plants with a height (i.e. 5-6') indicate an estimate of the current height of the plant.
Plants measured in inches (i.e. 2.5") indicate the caliper (trunk width) of the plant.
Plants measured by caliper (inches) are generally larger than plants measured in height (feet).
Plants with B&B in the size are sold as balled and burlap (not in a container).
