Description

A stunning tree with incredible seasonal interest, from the first flush of spring flowers to the bold autumn foliage, it performs for months on end.

Just before the leaves emerge in spring, the bare stems become covered in dainty clusters of pink, pea-like blooms. It's a magical effect, with soft, floral clouds hugging the branches before a single leaf shows. It gives the whole tree a look of quiet confidence, and really marks the arrival of spring in style.

Then come the leaves, papery and heart-shaped, first emerging bronze, before maturing to deep green through summer, and then becoming yellow in autumn.

The Eastern Redbud, or Cercis canadensis, is naturally multi-stemmed, with an elegant branching habit that makes it ideal as a feature tree in a lawn or near a seating area.

The best part? It's incredibly easy to grow. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil, copes with both sun and partial shade, and is drought-tolerant once established. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner planting your first tree, this is a choice you can feel confident about.

Top Tips
  • Try growing amongst lime green or leaved plants for a great colour contrast!
Care Information
  • Dig a square hole as deep as the roots and approximately 1.5 times as wide.
  • Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole to help the plant establish quicker.
  • Spread the roots gently and place into the planting hole.
  • Mix well rotted compost or manure with the soil taken from the hole and then use to backfill around the tree.
  • Keep well-watered until established.
  • Requires on minimal pruning to remove damage and diseased wood in early spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
