Royal White Redbud Tree

Dreamy clouds of white in the spring! The Royal White Redbud Tree (Cercis canadensis 'Royal White') is a small ornamental tree or large shrub that puts on a stunning spring display! Not only is the Royal White a low-maintenance tree, but it blooms earlier and with more profuse and larger flowers than other white Redbuds!

You'll be amazed by the staggering number of blooms that blanket your Redbud in the spring. Prolific clusters of pristine white, pea-shaped flowers seem to encase the bare branches in spectacular color! Early-emerging pollinators will stop by for a visit and sip nectar, grateful for the feast the Royal White provides! Go ahead and snip a few branches to bring indoors or try forcing branches earlier in the winter for a burst of color indoors!

In the summer the beauty of your Redbud becomes apparent. Heart-shaped leaves emerge with a unique bronze hue, later changing to green. Your Redbud's leaves will progress to a lovely blue-green until spicing up your autumn landscape with a lively yellow! As an added attraction in the fall, your Redbud will gift you area wildlife with a tasty treat inside the 4-inch peapod-type casings. Offering added interest in the fall and winter months!

Landscape Application:

Royal White, like other Redbuds, offers four seasons of interest for your garden! From spring's flowers to summer's gorgeous foliage, fall's color, and winter's zig-zag-shaped branching - the Redbud tree has it all!

This tree can be kept in its shrubby form with branches to the ground to provide screening and cover! Plant several as a naturalized border, in groupings near a tree line, or in a woodland setting where they won't mind a touch of shade from their larger neighbors. A row along your property line will add definition and some privacy that is both low-maintenance and showy!

Keep these trees as multi-trunked specimens by removing the lower third to half of the branches from the main trunks to create a pretty accent! You can even train young trees into single-stemmed ornamentals by removing all but a single main leader. Try planting a single Royal White near your home's entrance as an elegant welcome to guests or plant yours on a raised berm as a prominent focal point!

A row of these right-sized ornamentals is perfect for lining your driveway or adding a touch of shade to the back seating areas and patios! Bringing in birds and butterflies galore!
