I bought this shrub last year because of its leaves coloration in fall. It goes not mind partial shade.
In our area it is not deer resistant even if some sites say it is. We live in wooded area full of deer.

I have it in the greenhouse

Native to China & Japan. The species name, cercidifolius, because a shape of its leaves are similar to Cercis, (commonly called redbud.)

Haven’t seen this one, Klahanie. I can see why you bought it. Such beautiful big leaves with attractive autumnal colours.

That's a very pretty leaf. I like cercis and cercidiphyllum both.

I have the Cercis canadensis also called Forest pansy but it doesn't go this lovey red colour in the autumn which is a shame because I love autumn red colours ..
