This compact redbud offers big garden impact in a smaller size. In early spring, branches burst with clusters of bright pink flowers that pollinators can’t resist. As the season unfolds, heart-shaped foliage emerges red, then matures to a vibrant green, bringing continuous color and texture through summer. With its neat, upright form and durable branching, this tree is perfect as a focal point in small gardens, on patios, or along pathways.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Cercis canadensis Garden Gems® Emerald
Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system, then provide moderate moisture. Minimal pruning is needed; remove any dead or crossing branches after flowering if desired.
