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.

Mothers Day gift went over well

Arrived with soft roots and we planted it straight away. My mom is very excited to have her tree! Was delayed, but customer service was very helpful and communicative when I reached out to them about it. Overall good experience.

First rate trees

Very healthy and well-packed. I look forward to its bloom next spring. This is the second tree I bought from FGT and I am impressed with the way the trees are shipped.

Right after I planted it

Right after I planted it and before I built its protective cage, a deer ate all but one of the leaves. Hoping it makes a comeback. It survived the shipping well, so I'm sad it had a bad first day in the ground.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Margaret! We’re sorry your plant had such a rough first day. Deer can be relentless, especially with tender young leaves. We’re glad to hear it arrived healthy and hope it recovers well now that it’s got a protective cage. If you need any care tips, we’re always here to help.
