If item has 5 or less in stock, please request a quote to confirm availability with our nursery. We will get back to you within a day to provide a timeline to fulfill order.
A small deciduous ornamental tree valued for its spectacular, colour-changing foliage. New leaves emerge in shades of burgundy and red, gradually maturing through orange and yellow before turning green, creating a flame‑like display through the season. In early spring, clusters of rosy pink flowers appear along the bare branches before the foliage emerges, adding another layer of interest.
This redbud has a compact, upright growth habit and works well as a specimen tree in smaller landscapes, patios, or garden borders. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well‑drained soil. Its native heritage helps support local pollinators and wildlife.
