Leaf Color

The Cercis canadensis is known for its beautiful leaf color. The heart-shaped leaves of this Redbud change color throughout the growing season. In spring, the leaves appear in a striking orange hue, which then changes to a warm yellow tint and finally to a light green color. Thanks to this Young American Redbud, also known as Cercis canadensis 'Rising Sun', your garden gets a beautiful color in every season.

Flowering

In spring, before the leaves emerge, this Redbud bears beautiful pink to purple-pink flowers that grow directly on the branches and trunk. These flowers also attract butterflies and bees for pollination.

Fall Color

The Cercis canadensis 'Rising Sun' displays a beautiful warm color in fall. The leaves change from orange to warm yellow, so your garden continues to show beautiful colors in the autumn. Enjoy the Cercis canadensis 'Rising Sun'.

Growth Form

This Redbud has a round, dense, and compact growth form. This canadensis does not grow taller than 3 to 4 meters, making it suitable for both small and large gardens. This way, you can vary the offerings in your garden. The branches grow symmetrically and form a beautiful crown.

Pollination

The pink to purple-pink flowers that grow on the branches and trunk (before the leaves emerge) provide pollination. Butterflies, bees, and birds are attracted to them. This ensures a lively garden where you can optimally enjoy the vibrant nature.

Location

This Redbud thrives well in a sunny to partially shaded location in well-drained soil, with no other specific requirements. Although this Cercis canadensis 'Rising Sun' is wind-resistant, we recommend initially planting it in a sheltered spot. This is because it is still a young tree and therefore more sensitive. In later years, this will no longer be an issue.

How to plant the tree?

Determine the final location of the tree and ensure it is free from cables, debris, old plants, and other obstacles that may hinder the tree's growth.
Dig a planting hole that is twice the width of the root ball. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the planting hole and mix the excavated soil with (organic) garden soil or planting substrate.
Adjust the planting hole to the height where the root ball fits and firmly press the soil.
Fill the planting hole with water and wait for it to settle. Check if the root ball is sufficiently moist.
Place the tree or plant in the planting hole. It is extremely important that the tree is not planted too deep, as this can cause root rot.
Insert a tree stake or bamboo stake firmly into the ground on the side of the tree where the most wind comes from.
Now, place the watering ring or create a mound of soil around the tree so that water can seep into the ground.
