Before their distinctive heart-shaped leaves emerge, a profusion of rosy-pink to purple flowers blankets the branches, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle. These blooms provide a vital early nectar source for pollinators, bringing life and activity to your garden when other plants are still dormant. With a medium growth rate, adding 12 to 24 inches in height annually, these trees quickly establish themselves as a focal point in any setting.

Our live Eastern Redbud plants are carefully cultivated to ensure healthy growth and successful establishment. Each plant arrives in a quart pot, providing a robust root system ready for transplanting. These young trees, typically 6-12 inches tall, are perfect for immediate planting, allowing you to watch them flourish and mature into magnificent specimens. The unique, somewhat irregular branching habit and graceful crown of the Redbud create a bold and artistic statement in the landscape, providing year-round interest.
