#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.
