Forest Pansy Redbud

Forest Pansy redbud trees for sale here are the wholesale-priced version of a favorite ornamental, an eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) bred for wine-purple foliage. In early spring, pink blooms open along bare wood, and the heart-shaped leaves follow. We ship bare-root trees at 3 to 4 feet, in packs of 25, 50, 100 and 500, to street-tree programs, parks, nurseries and landowners.

Forest Pansy Redbud Size, Zones and Sun

A mature tree stands about 20 to 30 feet tall, with a rounded, spreading crown 20 to 35 feet wide. It's hardy in zones 5 to 9. Full sun gives the deepest leaf color, though part shade is a better choice in hot summers. Average, well-drained soil works.

Forest Pansy Redbud Leaves and Flowers

Rosy pink flowers cluster along bare branches in early spring, before the leaves. The leaves come next, opening reddish purple, deepening to maroon-purple in summer and turning orange, red-purple and bronze in fall. Each leaf is broad, heart-shaped and about 5 inches long.

Planting Forest Pansy Redbud Bare-root

Soak the roots for an hour, dig a hole wide enough to spread them and set the tree at the depth it grew. Firm the soil, water deeply and mulch a ring around the base, keeping the mulch off the trunk. Water weekly through the first summer.

Good to Know About Forest Pansy Redbud

This tree dislikes wet feet, so skip low spots where water stands. Where summers are hot, a bit of afternoon shade saves the leaves from scorching, but remember that sun gives the richest purple. Prune lightly, removing only dead or crossing branches, right after the flowers fade.
