Stunning Redbud with Deep Purple Foliage
Why Merlot Redbud Trees?
Merging everything you love in a Redbud into a slightly smaller form, the Merlot is a phenomenal hybrid that delivers classic blooms with the twist of lustrous purple leaves that gradually fade to green in the summer.
You’ll also get new features that will make this tree even more desirable, like excellent drought tolerance and glossier leaves that stand up to summer heat with ease.
Vibrant red-purple leaves mean the Merlot lives up to its name. The most exciting feature of the new Merlot Redbud is the outstanding color of the foliage. First, you get its reddish-pink blossoms...then the reward of the Merlot's deep, dark purple leaves that continue to impress as they fade into deep green. Whether you plant this tree alone or amongst others in your garden, it takes your yard to the next level.

Better than expected
The tree was just as advertised! 5ft, packaged well and healthy. I’ve only had it in the ground a week but it seems to be happy, even in the oppressive heat of zone 9.
Can take the heat
Came well packaged and had a good root system. It’s holding up in the Texas heat
Merlot Tree
Love the tree and its doing great.
Merlot
This little sapling, Merlot, loves Texas thus far. When I received her, she had no leaves. But just as stated on the website, Springtime is the best time to plant. I'm waiting to plant her when I move. . . hopefully soon. I will definitely purchase more plants from Fast Growing Trees again.
Alive so far
I was a little worried at first when opening the packaging if the tree would survive. It's been one week and the leaves haven't fallen off so that's a good sign. I'll probably come and update this review after some time. My only complaint is that is looks like they prune a large amount of the trees and leave very few leaves.
