Redbud Seedlings

Redbud Seedlings Also Known As Cercis canadensis

Redbud Seedlings thrive in hardy zones 4-9, making them suitable for most of the eastern United States. They grow best outside arid western regions, mountainous areas, or low sandy areas such as Miami or Orlando. Originally an understory plant in eastern forests, Redbud develops into a small tree reaching 20-30 feet in height.

Fibrous Roots for Strong Growth

Planting in the fall allows Redbud Seedlings to develop extensive roots over winter and emerge healthy in spring. These trees grow quickly, flowering within four to five years. By years seven to eight, they start producing seeds and typically reach full maturity within 12 years.

Excellent for Landscaping and Restoration

The short trunk makes Redbud ideal for parking strips or areas under power and telephone lines. Its pink to reddish-purple blooms enhance the aesthetic of parks, homes, and commercial landscapes, attracting attention and providing ornamental value.

First to Bloom in Spring

Redbud Seedlings are among the earliest to bloom in spring, usually in April. Flowers cover the limbs and sometimes the trunk, resembling peas with a slightly nutty, edible flavor. As blooms fade, heart-shaped leaves emerge, transitioning from green to yellow in the fall, adding seasonal color throughout the year.
