Description

A remarkably attractive garden tree with bountiful foliage form and colour - one of the best! This deciduous, multi-stemmed Eastern Redbud, also known as Cercis canadensis, boasts a mesmirising cross-season display of blooms and foliage.

Just wait until spring for the heart-shaped leaves to arrive, bronze when young, before evolving through green and to an autumnal shade of yellow for the season. However, just before the leaves, which can grow to a mightily impressive 12cm wide, have chance to appear, dainty clusters of pea-like flowers open on the bare stems.

Cercis thrive in moist but well drained soil, in sun or partial shade and is drought tolerant, so is very easy to grow for most gardeners, both beginner and experienced alike. With its almost year round interest from flowers and foliage, it won’t disappoint!

Supplied as an established tree in a 3L pot, ready to plant and reach a height and spread of around 8m in a decade.

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 to establish quickly.
  • Spread the roots gently and carefully lower 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.
