  1. I love the forest pansy redbud tree it's leaves turn a beautiful burgundy color and are in the shape of a heart! I have a weeping redbud and it's so pretty 😍

  2. I have just planted 2 Cercis Chinensis trees as I have a small garden which suits with their shorter height growth. One is Avondale and the other is Faerie Queen. I can't wait until Spring comes about in September (in Australia) to see the pretty coloured peapod flowers!

  3. When we moved to PA I was so excited to see the red buds in bloom wildly along the wood lines. It’s just so special to see their contrast against the new leaf buds of other trees.

  4. My Redbud is just about to pop and I can’t wait! We have had a wet spring and it’s making my tree so happy! I think this will be the best bloom ever! Peace and blessings 💖

  5. I know I can look it up but anyone know if it would tolerate life in a pot? Hearing from those with that specific experience helps.

  6. I'll be driving around my Cleveland Ohio zone 6b area, looking at the beautiful redbud trees! If a tree dies in my yard, the redbud would be considered as a replacement. We have a LOT of trees!

  7. Amazing red bud and blooms, but the locust tree behind is on her detriment. My bet it will be gone come fall.

  8. Does your Redbud tree get pods? And if so are they a messy tree? And you comment how beautiful they are when they are in bloom what’s the fall show like?

  9. Love this tree! I had the "Forest Pansy" version in my garden. Sadly it got verticillium wilt and died.

  10. These seeds self seed all over our yard. They grow vigorously but take years to bloom. Yes. Very hardy.

  11. Hi, I love your tree. I've been trying to grow mine from seed, but I can't get it to sprout. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Happy growing. 😊

  12. I love them and over the years have purchased 2. The first one did bloom ( this was back when I could drag a hose down to it) but was blown over in a storm one year. The second has never bloomed. It hardly rains at all here from the 4th of July to late September and I think that must be when it sets buds so I can’t drag the hose out there anymore and the tree has survived the yearly drought but no flowers. Next house is going to be on a flat piece of land so I’m not dealing with a hillside anymore. 😊
