Dear Anne-Lise, The sense of rhythm and color in your words beautifully mirrors the grace and transient splendor of the season. Much like the Japanese Katsura tree, which carries a gentle, caramel scent in fall and symbolizes resilience and calm harmony. Ahhh, the sweet change of seasons. Autumn Blessings, Dear Anne-Lise, Daniel

I looked them up but they won't grow in our zone so the article said. I would have liked to have one of those. We do have Japanese red maples here which are a beautiful specimen. Sara K
