Cercis canadensis Garden Gems® 'Emerald' PP35079
Chosen for small, compact form and ornamentality similar to that of a Japanese maple, North American native Cercis canadensis Garden Gems™ Emerald is the perfect specimen tree for foundations, patios, and container plantings. The upright, densely branched habit makes it a focal point in the home garden, while its ability to tolerate adverse conditions paired with its maximum height and width of 8-10’ make Cercis canadensis Garden Gems™ Emerald the perfect solution to livening up urban gardens. Lightly textured, medium green, heart-shaped foliage emerges in mid-spring following the eruption of dark pink blooms that tightly hug the stems and branches in mid-to-late April. As with other native Eastern Redbud selections, Garden Gems™ Emerald Redbud is attractive to early spring pollinators, and is fairly adaptable to a wide range of site conditions.
