No, Katsura tree roots are not considered invasive. They are known for being shallow but wide-spreading, extending outwards as far as the tree’s crown diameter, typically around 25-60 feet at maturity.
This shallow root system makes them unlikely to damage foundations or underground utilities. However, it’s still a good idea to plant them at least 15-20 feet away from structures to avoid potential issues.
Katsura trees are known for their low-maintenance needs and naturally attractive shape, so frequent pruning isn’t necessary. However, if you do want to prune your Katsura tree, here’s a general guide:
Katsura trees are known for their longevity. While estimates vary, they can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. There are documented cases of katsura trees exceeding 500 years old, and their resilience to pests and disease suggests lifespans well over 1,000 years are possible.

The Katsura tree can grow in soils with acidic, neutral and alkaline pH levels.
