Eastern Redbud 1 Live Tree – Cercis canadensis – 3 Gallon Pot

Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a deciduous flowering tree native to eastern and central North America, admired for its vibrant purplish-pink, pea-like blossoms. The flowers typically appear in early spring, often during April, covering the bare branches before the tree's distinctive heart-shaped leaves emerge.

After flowering, Eastern Redbud develops attractive green foliage that provides ornamental interest throughout the growing season. Its naturally spreading, branching form makes it a versatile choice for woodland gardens, native landscapes, residential yards, and ornamental specimen plantings. The spring flowers also provide an early-season nectar and pollen source for visiting pollinators.

Supplied as one live Eastern Redbud tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this species generally performs well in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Its colorful spring blossoms and distinctive foliage make it a recognizable ornamental tree for a variety of garden settings.
