Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select an area with well-drained soil and full sun to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight with some afternoon shade).
Dig a hole twice as wide as the diameter and as deep as your tree’s root ball. Place your tree, backfill the soil, and water to settle the tree’s roots. Finally, spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the planting site to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: During the first year, water your tree about once or twice weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, check the surrounding soil to about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water your tree.
After the first year, your Redbud can thrive on rainfall alone, but we recommend that you continue to check the soil. Soil should remain moist about 3 inches down.
3. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply compost or a complete fertilizer, such as 5-10-5. Spread evenly around the root zone of the plant according to the label instructions.
4. Pruning: Prune the tree in early summer after the tree is done blooming. Begin by removing any larger lower branches and branches that cross over each other or rub together.
Cut off the branches close to the trunk without leaving any stubs. If several branches need to be removed, remove gradually over a few months. In late winter, prune any dead or damaged wood and remove any shoots that are growing from the bottom of the trunk.

United StatesLoving my tree!
The tree arrived well wrapped and protected. The planting instructions were easy to follow. My tree is settling in as it is getting colder as winter approaches. Can't wait for next spring!
United StatesWonderful little tree!
So happy with our new redbud! We really, really wanted a redbud for this space, yet the full size would likely have gotten too large over time, so this is the perfect option! And it actually arrived nearly a foot taller than specified!
United StatesBeautiful tree
Tree arrived securely packaged, and healthy. It was even taller than I expected, which is great. It has been in the ground for almost two weeks now and has new growth.
