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.

Loving my new Easter Red Bud tree! It arrived healthy and the quality of the tree was too notch.

I purchased an Eastern Red Bud tree in May and I received it in June. Unfortunately when I opened the box,I saw that one of the main branches was broken off. I called customer service and a pleasant man named Ralph, said to text a picture of the damage. Within 4 hours of my initial call, I received an email from Ralph saying that they were going to send a replacement tree. 4 days later my new tree arrived in excellent condition. I couldn't be more happy about the way they handled this issue, and the speed in which they did. Thank you Fast Growing Trees! I will definitely order again.

Redbud

Arrived and planted about one week ago. Lost a lot of leaves during shipment or otherwise appear healthy. It does have some new leafing started which I take as a very good sign

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Cristine, new growth after just a week in the ground is a wonderful sign! Some leaf drop during shipping and transplant is completely normal as the tree adjusts, so seeing it push out new leaves already means it's settling in nicely. Just keep the soil consistently moist through that first growing season and it should take off from there. Redbuds are tough once established!
