Best Gold Leaf Redbud on the Market
Why Rising Sun™ Eastern Redbud Trees?
Shining like a beacon of beauty in your landscape, The Rising Sun™ Eastern Redbud sets the spring season alight with gorgeous fuchsia blooms, vivid green-gold foliage, and full, vigorous growth that's second to none. Also known as the Judas Tree, this Redbud transforms your yard as nothing else can.
You've never seen a Redbud like this before. Its symmetrical silhouette and dimensional stacked foliage stand up to heat, drought, and cold...and through it all, the Rising Sun™ attracts graceful wildlife like birds and butterflies to your garden.
In fact, its foliage is as lovely as it blooms. In fact, from a short distance, the mix of golden and green leaves look like blooms themselves. The sturdy branches hoist tons of large, heart-shaped leaves that almost appear pinned onto the tree in layers. It's a vision of beauty you won't find anywhere else.
Aptly named, the Redbud's leaves start out a golden yellow, giving way to a peach hue. And before the sun ever rises on your tree, the Redbud's flowers will emerge with vibrant color throughout the branches. The show begins early in the spring as waves of pea-like, fuchsia blooms pour onto the tree. Once the foliage arrives, the color scheme lasts well into the fall when the leaves turn an incredible orange.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select a site that's 6 to 8 feet from existing structures and about 3 feet from fences. Clear a 5-foot radius of any competing plants, weeds, or grass.
Dig a planting hole for the redbud twice as wide as the diameter and as deep as the depth of the root ball. Rub the root system to loosen the outer roots. Fill the hole halfway with the removed soil and top it off with water. Fill it in the rest of the way and water again to settle the soil, using a total of about 15 gallons of water.
Spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the planting site but be sure it's about 4 inches away from the base of the trunk to prevent fungus and rot. Mulch conserves water in the soil, adds nutrients as it breaks down and aids in weed prevention.
2. Watering: During the first year, make sure to water your tree often enough to keep its soil moist yet not soaked. Water later in the evening after the heat of the day has subsided.
3. Fertilizing: In early spring, you can apply some compost and/or a complete fertilizer such as 5-10-5 in granular form. 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.

After two or three days I noticed that the tree was growing......We are so excited and can't wait for this beautiful tree the fill our side yard
United States3rd year in - prettiest tree in the yard!
I purchased this tree about 3 seasons ago from fastgrowing trees. It arrived in good shape and a nice size. The first year it didn’t grow much, working on building it’s root system I suppose. It is now beginning it’s 3rd season and it is incredibly beautiful. It’s been easy to take care of. I live in the hot and humid coastal South Carolina, and here it likes being underneath a large tree with dappled sunlight. Other then spraying once for aphids, it’s preformed amazingly well. I am SO Happy I took a chance on this tree!

Little 2.5 ft. Sapling traveled over 5 days and the collar supporting it in the box was broken when the box was opened but fortunately it was unscathed. It should be boxed more securely. It is thriving and healthy and a treasure.

We are so sorry to hear about the rough travels your tree experienced but thankful it's doing well despite this! Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions we can help with!
United StatesIt’s growing!
I was concerned because the existing leaves were really dry and falling off when the box arrived. I already had a spot ready for it, and I pretty much put it in the ground about half an hour after it arrived. It wasn’t in a planting bag as I expected, but I put it in a gopher basket, added some organic fertilizer and compost to the hole, and gave it a good long soak with the hose for the first few days. Despite looking a little ragged at first, it now has all kinds of new little branches all the way up and down the trunk! It’s generally staying up on its own, but I did re-stake it with twine and bamboo. I did have to trim a couple of root stock suckers, but it appears to be healthy and happy where it is. :)

I’m happy with the tree. It lost some leaves during shipping, some of which I attribute to the tree being delayed a few days at a FedEx location. The leaves are huge and layered. It has been a few weeks since I planted it and it seems to be doing well.
