Compact, glossy, and spring-bloom spectacular, a small-space stunner with big-time charm FEATURES: Naturally compact with a neat, rounded habit that fits beautifully in smaller landscapes Dark lavender to pink spring blooms appear along the branches before the leaves fully show up New foliage emerges rich and dark, then deepens toward green while keeping a glossy, polished look Strong form for easy “designer” impact, perfect when you want a specimen tree without the sprawl Fall color shifts into yellow tones for a warm finish to the season Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: Keep a clean mulch ring at the base and let the branching do the talking, then layer around it with softer, lower shapes like hydrangeas, inkberry, or ornamental grasses so the glossy leaves and spring flowers stay front-and-center; if your home has brick or stone, this redbud is a natural pairing because the blooms and dark foliage make those textures look even richer.
