Bring vibrant color to your landscape with the Eastern Redbud! Watch every spring as the tree erupts in blooms all over, just before the leaves emerge. The Eastern Redbud produces purple-pink bead-like flower clusters in groups of 4-10 that begin to appear in early spring. The reddish-purple leaves change to dark green, then to change again in the fall to yellow(although somewhat variable and unreliable). Eastern Redbud has an irregular growth habit when young but forms a graceful flat-topped vase-shape as it gets older. The tree usually branches low on the trunk, and if left intact forms a graceful multitrunked habit. Be sure to avoid weak forks by pruning to reduce the size of lateral branches. At maturity it can reach a height of 20-30 feet and a spread of 25-35 feet. The Eastern Redbud has a medium growth rate and grow well in full sun in the northern part of its range but will benefit from some shade in the southern zones, particularly in the lower mid-west where summers are hot. Best growth occurs in a light, rich, moist soil but Eastern Redbud adapts well to a variety of soil including sandy or alkaline. Trees look better when they receive some irrigation in summer dry spells. Its native habitat ranges from stream bank to dry ridge, demonstrating its adaptability. It is tolerant to partial shade making this a suitable, attractive tree for understory or specimen planting. Best not used extensively as a street tree due to low disease resistance and short life, but is nice in commercial and residential landscapes. Plant in a shrub border for a spring and fall color display. The tree is hardy in USDA Zones 4-9. It is shipped in a #1 pot with an average height between 2-3 feet.
