Sometimes, periods of intense cold, ice ages, or other catastrophes eliminated these from entire continents. The only trace we have left are in the form of fossils. Below, we’ll share the best of both species and group them on whether they’re dwarf or weeping katsura, too!

Purpurea’ katsura – Cercidiphyllum japonicum‘Purpurea’, similar to the ‘Red Fox’ but with deeper colored leaves. Embark on a wild and unforgettable adventure for all the family at GLOBALLS, located in the heart of Brighton Marina. Delight in the exhilaration of themed, glow-in-the-dark crazy golf that will captivate both kids and adults alike. Our venue features three mixed-ability 12-hole mini-golf courses, as well as an exciting games experience, ensuring that all ages can come together and have a blast. Each room showcases the incredible artistic talent of our in-house team, immersing you in a realm that is truly unique. Unlike most other katsura trees, the Morioka cultivar tends to grow a single trunk. It won’t develop many secondary trunks like the other katsura trees do. Naturalized all over the world, this species is especially common in the Eastern United States and along the West Coast. In Europe, it’s increasingly adopted as a garden ornamental. Currently, though, most interesting specimens there are found in botanical gardens. In Japan, it’s very common. Night golf tournaments can be held safely at golf courses with proper planning, and all water hazards as well as other dangerous areas should be marked off or clearly lit. Oftentimes, golf courses will only make night golf tournaments available to members of the golf course who are very familiar with its layout to avoid any mix-ups or issues.Boyd’s Dwarf’ katsura – Cercidiphyllum japonicum‘Boyd’s dwarf’, aptly named because it will rarely exceed 12 feet (4 meters). Ideal for small gardens. While the general rule is that these LED balls will fly one to two clubs less far, these numbers change a bit depending on club selection. Wedges and short irons will be less affected by the difference in compression, and will be closer to a one club distance. What sets GLOBALLS apart is its unrivalled distinctiveness; we take pride in offering an exceptional and one-of-a-kind experience tailored to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a family looking for a day of ‘fun for everyone’, a couple searching for the perfect first date selfie or a group of work friends looking for a bit of friendly competition – we have the course for you! This one is only native to Japan. Specifically, the native range of Cercidiphyllum magnificum is the rather large island of Honshu. Other weeping varieties include those that have the name ‘Pendulum’. Unlike the Morioka, they tend to grow multiple trunks which also makes for a very nice result.

Putting is one of the toughest parts of glow golf, as greens can be nearly impossible to read with a flashlight. Golf courses can prepare for night golf events by cutting the pins toward the center of the greens in flat areas, while more mischievous greenskeepers will leave tougher pin placements on the course for night golfers. Strawberry’ katsura – Cercidiphyllum japonicum‘Strawberry’, red-pink leaves in summer with touches of yellow. Aureum’ katsura – Cercidiphyllum japonicum‘Aureum’, amazing brilliant yellow throughout the summer. In spring, young leaves are purple-green, similar to those of purple hazel. Claim Jumper’ katsura – Cercidiphyllum japonicum‘HSl1 Claim Jumper™’, leaves start out with a pink tinge that makes leaves seem to shine, and gradually turns gold yellow. A new addition.This species is the taller of the two, reaching towering heights in the wild. It can grow to nearly 150 feet (45 meters)! Usually katsura cuttings are prepared, but recently new techniques rely on micro-propagation. Cloning is performed from small portions of the original plant, instead of an entire stem. Katsura varieties are always magnificent and are often very appealing when grown in a garden. There are two main types of Katsura tree. Both come from Japan and Eastern China. Cercidiphyllum alaskanum – Crossed over the Bering Bridge into North America. Characteristic of an epoch that was 7 to 25 million years ago. The glow ball brand Glow V1 takes the cake when it comes to a clever product name, but their balls tend to not last as long as those produced by Night Eagle, and they will need to be “re activated” with light throughout the round.

These are the varieties most often found in nurseries. Indeed, their size when mature doesn’t exceed 15 feet or 5 meters, which is perfect for most of our gardens! Proper planning and organization are the keys to any successful golf tournament, but they are even more important when setting up a night golf event. It is easy for golfers to become lost or confused on a dark course, so lights should be placed strategically for golfers to follow. Cercidiphyllum magnificum is also called “ large-leaf katsura“. Indeed, its leaves are larger than those of Cercidiphyllum japonicum. Several varieties are “weeping” trees, in that the branches droop down to the ground. You might be more familiar with the weeping willow in this respect.

Glow ball tournaments can be an absolute blast, and a great way to beat the heat during the summer months. They can also provide a new source of income for golf courses who are looking to turn a larger profit. Night Eagle LED glow balls are activated by shining a bright light like a flashlight onto a designated circle printed on the ball. This light will activate the LED, and will stay lit until you decide to turn it off, with no need to re-hine throughout the round. Glow balls will not fly as far as regular golf balls, and players will notice a one to two club distance loss when using them. This is due to their construction and higher compression core which is designed to protect the electrical elements inside the golf ball. Though both japonicum and magnificum can be grown as bonsai, the latter is easier to control and care for. Recently, new variegated varieties (ow that’s a throat-twister) have appeared that are of interest.
