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.

Redbud review

My experience was great! My tree came (looked like one big long stick). I planted it and had this long, dead looking stick in my front yard for months. My husband joked that it would never grow. Lo and behold, it’s spring and my little stick has beautiful heart shaped green leaves! I’m so happy and can’t wait to watch my tree grow over the years!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Kelly, we’re so glad to hear your tree has leafed out and is off to a great start. It’s always exciting to see that transformation after the initial dormancy. We hope you enjoy watching it grow for years to come.

Beautiful Redbud

I thought for sure a 4' tree would arrive bare-root. This beautiful healthy tree came potted. Very impressive! Had the stock I wanted at a very reasonable price and it shipped and arrived in no time. I highly recommend for all your planting needs!
