Eastern Redbud Tree | Cercis canadensis
- Masses of tiny pink blossoms precede the appearance of this tree’s foliage, covering its stems in the springtime and giving it a beautiful, bold appearance
- Broad, cordate leaves with a smooth texture run through several colours during the year; starting out a brownish green, they then become a deeper green in summer, before finally turning an attractive yellow in autumn
- Has more of a vase-like form when young, maturing to a rounded (or flat-topped) crown with age. Over time, the branches will spread irregularly and the trunk(s) may become contorted and twisted
- Eastern Redbud trees are easy to grow and low maintenance; for the best flowers, plant in a sheltered, sunny spot!
- This plant often has multiple stems and can either be grown as a small tree or large shrub
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth
