Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This tree thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to maintain the deep purple and green foliage intensity. In hotter climates, afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent leaf scorch and keep the heart shaped leaves looking crisp.
  • Soil: It prefers moist, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay, plant it in a slight mound or add compost to improve drainage, as "wet feet" or standing water will lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first two growing seasons, provide deep watering twice a week to help the root system expand into the surrounding soil. Once established, this Redbud is moderately drought tolerant, but you should still provide supplemental water during dry spells to prevent premature leaf drop or smaller flower sets the following spring. Inconsistent moisture can stress the tree, making it more susceptible to opportunistic pests like borers.

Pruning Tips

Since Cascading Hearts blooms on old wood, you should only prune immediately after the flowers fade in late spring. Focus on removing dead wood or "water sprouts" that shoot straight up, which helps maintain that elegant weeping umbrella shape. Think of it like a selective haircut that opens up the interior to better air circulation, reducing the risk of fungal leaf spots.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers in late summer because they encourage tender new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. This late season growth is easily damaged by winter cold, which can lead to dieback on the weeping branch tips.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Golden Falls® Redbud in either full sun or partial shade with at least four hours of light a day. Keep them evenly moist with a regular schedule of supplemental water, especially in dry weather. Redbuds will do best in a planting site with rich soil that drains well after a rainfall. Add a three-inch layer of pine bark mulch spread out to several feet past the canopy. Use symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster in the planting hole for life-long support that never "wears out". You'll rarely need to prune this slender selection. Prune to shape after the spring flowers are finished for the season.

  • Best in Full Sun or Partial Shade
  • Well-Drained Soils
  • Moderate Moisture Needs
  • Prune After Flowering
  • Deer Seldom Bother These Trees
