A new springtime favorite! With this plant, you'll have a new appreciation for spring after seeing the bountiful, pink beauty that profusely shines day and night. The USDA Organic Eastern Redbud Tree (Cercis canadensis) has rosy pink blooms in the spring that are quite the head-turner!
This small, ornamental tree is a great choice. Native to most of the United States in one species or another, they are easy-care. They also bring many desirable features into the landscape. The beauty doesn't drop off either, in the summer this tree is full of light green, heart-shaped foliage that eventually becomes a vibrant yellow coloration in the fall.
Grown from organic, pesticide, and GMO-free seed, these trees allow your landscape throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9 to remain chemical and safer for the environment! Your wildlife that eats the fall pea-like seedpods and early-emerging pollinators that sip the nectar in spring will benefit greatly!
Landscape Application:
Garden designers rely on Eastern Redbud's flower power. They use this tree as the main attraction in the Spring Garden. Why not follow their lead?
You'll love the contrast between the fluorescent Redbud flowers and the steady tones of the evergreen foliage. Underplant your tree with spring bulbs, small evergreen shrubs, and a few summer flowering shrubs to create a year-round display.
This breathtaking tree absolutely shines as a specimen plant where it can freely spread out and pull everyone into its dreaminess. You're not the only one going crazy for this incredible tree because even the birds and butterflies will be buzzing 24/7 for its sweet, magenta buds!
You can also plant this tree into the mix of your garden where it will be sure to make those dull spots disappear with its enchanting beauty. Wonderful naturalizing and woodland trees, a bit of larger tree canopy shade won’t bother these trees!
These are a great choice for both home gardens and commercial plantings. They'll do very well in median parking strips. Use them as street trees along walkways or in park settings. As you can imagine, Eastern Redbud is a premier choice for native landscapes or native restoration projects. Include them in your garden border plantings or marching along property lines.
For a large hedge where the canopies touch, plant them 6 - 8 feet apart on center. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next. Expand that spacing from 10 - 12 feet apart to establish individual trees.
Train the Eastern Redbud as a single-trunk tree or buy a multi-trunk clump for a more natural look. Try one at the corner of your house to anchor your foundation planting. Use 2, 4, or 6 - however many you have room for - on either side of a driveway to create a magnificent allée. What a treat in spring!
- Rosy Pink Springtime Buds
- Heart-Shaped, Light Green Foliage
- Adored by Birds & Butterflies
- Vibrant Yellow Fall Foliage
- Hardy Native Tree - Grown From Organic Seed Sources
- Go-To Specimen Tree, Woodlands, Naturalizing & Showy Ornamentals
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Give your USDA Organic Easter Redbud Tree the chance to grow to its fullest potential of 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide by planting in full sun to partial shade with rich well-drained soil. Provide regular consistent water access and a boost of spring fertilizer for flowering trees.
Surround the base of the tree with mulch to ensure even moisture and to protect your Eastern Redbud from nasty pests and diseases. Not to mention the dramatic difference it makes in the overall appearance of the colorful tree. Prune when needed in the spring as soon as the flowers have finished putting on their show.
- Best in Full Sun or Partial Shade
- Well-Drained Soils
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Prune Immediately After Flowering
- Easy To Care For
- Deer Don't Prefer the Taste

Single Stem, Multi Stem, Shrub Form, Oh My!
Before you buy, make sure you know what you’re getting! Single stem, multi stem and shrub forms are different so read a bit about which we’re currently offering below.
Single Stem:
These are plants that have one stem coming from the ground. Plants can also be considered single stem when lower branches are removed to raise the height of the branching. Sometimes, you will hear a single stem referred to as Tree Form.
Multi Stem:
These are plants with 2 or more stems planted together in the ground in close proximity to form a clump. There are times multi stems are formed by a tree that branches at the soil line with more than one main stem.
Shrub Form:
These are bushy plants with many stems and branching close to the ground. They are referred to as shrubs or bushes and are often shorter than their tree forms.
