Cercis canadensis 'Burgundy Hearts' (Redbud)
Burgundy Hearts Redbud has fuchsia pea-like flowers along the branches from early to mid spring before the leaves. It has attractive burgundy deciduous foliage which emerges brick red in spring. The heart-shaped leaves are highly ornamental and turn yellow in fall.
Burgundy Hearts Redbud will grow to be about 25 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 3 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selection of a native North American species.
