Best Gold Leaf Redbud on the Market

Why Rising Sun™ Eastern Redbud Trees?

Shining like a beacon of beauty in your landscape, The Rising Sun™ Eastern Redbud sets the spring season alight with gorgeous fuchsia blooms, vivid green-gold foliage, and full, vigorous growth that's second to none. Also known as the Judas Tree, this Redbud transforms your yard like nothing else can.

You've never seen a Redbud like this before. Its symmetrical silhouette and dimensional stacked foliage stand up to heat, drought, and cold...and through it all, the Rising Sun attracts graceful wildlife like birds and butterflies to your garden.

In fact, its foliage is as lovely as it blooms. In fact, from a short distance, the mix of golden and green leaves look like blooms themselves. The sturdy branches hoist tons of large, heart-shaped leaves that almost appear pinned onto the tree in layers. It's a vision of beauty you won't find anywhere else.

Aptly named, the Redbud's leaves start out a golden yellow, giving way to a peach hue. And before the sun ever rises on your tree, the Redbud's flowers will emerge with vibrant color throughout the branches. The show begins early in the spring as waves of pea-like, fuchsia blooms pour onto the tree. Once the foliage arrives, the color scheme lasts well into the fall when the leaves turn an incredible orange.

Redbud

The tree died in shipping. Wanted a refund, but they just gave me a credit. Unfortunately, no more red bud trees are in stock.

When it arrived the leaves were a little beat up looking. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the tree. It has now had time to produce some new foliage and is on it's way to looking better.

We are very pleased with this tree and the colors that are appearing and can’t wait to fall colors. The only issue is the shipping package was in terrible shape upon arrival. The tree lost several leaves but has recovered quite well. All in all we are satisfied.
