Tree ID ?

9 years ago

I know this is a long shot, but I'm trying to remember the name of an ornamental tree. One of its unique characteristics is very fragrant foliage, especially in the fall. Also, if I recall its leaves are somewhat usually shaped as well. Thanks in advance.

It's katsura, Cercidiphyllum japonicum. Fall foliage smells like cotton candy and has heart-shaped leaves.
