Blankets of Fuchsia Blooms Welcome Spring

Why Eastern Redbud Trees?

Prized for its vibrant, purple-pink easter flowers that welcome the warmer months, the Eastern Redbud marks the change from winter to spring. In fact, it’s one of the first trees to bloom each year and it blooms on old wood, offering a breath of fresh air after the cold season.

But despite its delicate appearance, the Eastern Redbud is incredibly strong. It can thrive as far west as California, in parts of Florida, and even up north. It’s hardy down to -20 degrees and resists ice damage with ease. Plus, it’s adaptable to most soil types. You get its rounded, dense canopy, unique branching, and four seasons of color, with leaves that change throughout the season…without the upkeep and guesswork.

Even better is the Eastern Redbud’s ability to fit into smaller landscapes. Regardless of the space in your garden, you get the Redbud’s blankets of blooms, vibrant foliage, and unique spreading silhouette. Nothing can stop the Redbud from delivering blazing color in spring, summer, and fall.

Bought 4-5' and 2-3'. Both

Bought 4-5' and 2-3'. Both arrived intact, staked, bare branched and in pots. Gently raked root ball some and into the ground. Watered soil heavily once. Followed misting trunk/branches several times a day for a week. Full sun positioning in Zone 9. Within a week buds were swelling and within 10days small leaves pushing out. This will be fun and beautiful. Thanks FastGrowingTrees. . . they are fast growing.

Nice Trees!

My two Eastern redbud trees arrived quickly and were very well packed. Healthy looking trees, the size was as expected. They are dormant now but I'm looking forward to them leafing out in the spring!
