Height:

The heights we list are after we prune your tree.

Many Nurseries advertise heights before they prune, then cut off several feet before shipping. While this reduces their shipping cost, it give their customer a shorter tree than they bargained for. The tree will likely need an extra year to grow back the growth that was trimmed.

We prune your tree throughout its life. This process takes us longer, but gives you more branches and quicker production.

Plus, we don't include the pot or root length in our measurements. This gives you an extra 1-2 ft. in tree size.

Our larger trees are usually one to two years older than our smaller ones and will typically give you better results the first full growing season.

South ships on date above. North ships in spring.

If you appreciate flowering trees as much as we do, you’ll love the showy pink flowers of the Eastern Redbud. 

The Eastern Redbud is one of the first trees to flower in the early spring, blooming petite pink flowers in large clusters. 

These colorful blooms appear in late winter or early spring. Soon after, dark green, glossy leaves begin to form a beautiful backdrop, making these rosy-pink blooms stand out even more. 

Ideal for tight places or small lots, but will brighten up even the largest yards. Matures to 20-30 ft. tall into a dense, round shape. 

Grows in a variety of soils and climates. 

These are strong trees with deep root systems. Very resistant to storm, ice and wind damage.

Why Buy from Fast Growing Trees?

Save Money

Save thousands by shopping in the convenience of your own home instead of paying a landscaper with trees that struggle to survive.
Tree to Door

Receive well developed, large trees and shrubs that thrive in all areas of the country.  Varieties that are easy to grow, long lived, and trouble free.  Your plants are clearly marked for size, pruned to a nice pleasing shape, and are delivered right to your doorstep.
No Chemicals

We do not use growth regulators and other chemicals that make plants look good in the stores but struggle to survive once planted.
Large Size

Some of the competition chops 20-30% off the top of your tree just to make it fit in a smaller box which helps them save on shipping.  You see none of that savings, as they will still charge you the same high rate, all the while hurting the growth of your tree.

It's Easy to Plant your Eastern Redbud
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole

Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Eastern Redbud.

If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen.

First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width.

Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through.

Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.


Step 2 - Place Your Plant

Next, separate the roots of your Eastern Redbud gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.

The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil.

Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole.

To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole

As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.

Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps.

Water your Eastern Redbud again after the transplant is complete.

To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Freezing weather in the Texas hill country did not (evidently) harm this new addition to our yard. It is starting to bud today and we have had some really cold weather.

By: Catherine Puzyn
I bought this tree just before the hot summer in Florida so I didn't get the flowers. I cannot believe how much it grew and cannot wait til spring to see it in full bloom.
