- All About Eastern Redbuds - My Favorite Trees - In this video I go some exciting new varieties of Eastern Redbuds as well as details for maintaining them. Eastern Redbuds are flowering trees that are native to most of the Eastern United States. There are purple, green, gold, and variegated foliage varieties. They also come in flower colors from almost red, to pinkish-purple, and white.

Rising sun is one of my FAVORITE trees. Absolutely stunning!
I've seen them snap off at the graft though. Best to buy a good one from a good grower & support it until it's grown a bit.
1:00 As soon as you say "this is a rally beautiful tree" the tree bends down into camera view like "HEY" haha :D
I have one of these in my yard and was unaware of how slow they grow because mine has a trunk diameter of two feet. With a growth factor of 7 it must be well over a hundred years old. The leaves are massive on it.
I planted 2 last year and I'm crossing my fingers that they will be beautiful and thrive in my New York country house!
Hope they bloomed, we have a bunch of them in our neighborhood in Eastern Long Island.
Merlot is a real class act ...stunning small tree
Thanks for the great video
Love redbud!!!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I have always like redbuds even before i knew their name:-)
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for the education.
Great information!
I love your video! Thank you so much!
Eastern redbuds are one of my favorite trees as well. This was another very helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
It's going to be fir our grandkids to enjoy
Jim, You are my favorite horticulturalist. Thank you for everything you do. I am trying out both the Eastern redbuds and the Rising Sun redbud. They seem to like it here in central Texas.
Awesome. Good luck with them. Thanks for watching
I always enjoy your videos, they are loaded with the information I need. Two years ago I moved from Michigan (zone 4), where I had many gardens and a beautiful redbud that served as the archway into my flagstone patio. Now I am in Florida on the edge of zones 8 and 9.
Am loving the challenge and some of my new options, but I am sad to see that redbud is not one of them. Perhaps wanting a redbud here is simply sentimental. I will be looking at the many options available to me and watching more videos. Have Fun!
I love how enthusiastic you are about redbuds! Such a beautiful tree! Thanks for the info and tips! I have the tiniest tree right now at about 6'! I hope to have something as beautiful as yours one day! 💖
great video beautiful trees thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching.
These are beautiful. I think my favourite of the ones shown, would be the Carolina Sweetheart. Those leaves looked gorgeous. Would love to see them purple as you described.
I just planted one last month and I am very excited about it!
Good luck with it. Thanks for watching.
I planted a Texas redbud last year and I love it.
They are great. JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh has one of if not the biggest collections of Redbuds and they have several Texas Redbuds in the collection.
I've transplanted a few that were very young. They were seedlings in a spot they had no chance of growing to maturity. Probably MY favorite tree too!
I 'm obsess with Redbuds , last week i bought 5 of them , they are so pretty .
I have a lot of them here. Good luck with all of yours.
Heart shaped foliage .very awes
Good info..thanks..
Those are beautiful trees!!
They really are. Thanks for watching.
They look like they're related to peas because they are! They're in the same botanical family. Hard to believe that a tree can be related to an annual plant that grows on a vine, but there you go.
I am not surprised. I learned a couple years ago mangos and pistachios are related to poison ivy!
I just planted a Flamethrower Redbud. It's so windy today and I already have a broken branch lol but overall it's beautiful and I cannot wait to get the Sweet Carolina Redbud too!
I am in TN and had Eastern Redbud.
Love 💘 love them. I wish I had more shade to grow one or two lol
YO I LOVE THIS TREE IMMA GET THIS TREE
I added two Eastern Redbuds to my yard last year. Really looking forward to seeing these once they mature. My neighbor has one that looks amazing for about 2 weeks a year with the bright pink flowers.
Good luck with yours.
My new tree had no flowers just sprouted leaves! Hope next year we see the early flowers!
Great video, I can't wait to plant some of these in my little "woodland" area :)
Love Red Buds! But, have never known much about them. Thank you!
I seen a bunch of these redbuds in west virginia when we drove through in a late april early may. growing right out of hte cliffs too. and did not know there were white ones gold leaves and I seen a purple leaved one at the state park near me. very pretty
We had one in our basement all summer and jus planted it ..my gram had one very beautiful tree .we also planted 50 tulip bulbs
Great presentation. I was searching for information about Vanilla Twist because I just moved into a home with one of these and noticed what appeared to be a taller bit that wasn't weeping/twisted. That looked like something that would come off a root stock but when I searched for information about these trees from several nurseries none of them mentioned it being grafted/budded. Thanks !
Jim, love the channel. great landscape in NC, from In, Ky, Oh area. I never want to leave when we go to NC. love the redbuds. got two in yard as memorial gifts. 'Appalachian Red' and Im not sure. ordered 25 from Mi looking fwd to potting them up for a while. thanks Joe.
Great video! I am in zones 7-8 in central Arkansas. I planted a darling lavender twist @10 years ago, but unfortunately didn’t know I needed to stake it while it grew.😢😢 Now it is @4’ + tall, @5’ wide, looks like a very thick umbrella or dome🙂but the limbs touch the ground every single year. I clip them back off the ground, but hurts my heart to have to do that each year. Afraid I will eventually ruin it. They do bloom beautifully, though. I get lots of compliments on it. Just wish I had known better back when it was young. Also, it gets sun most of day, and leaves burn a bit towards the end of Summer. Wish I had the guts to move it. Thanks for your informative videos, Jim.
Great info! Now I need to find room in my yard for one 😏🙌🏼
The weeping ones will fit anywhere. I am planting two of them here this week.
This is an olde video, I was searching flame thrower redbud. I'm in the central valley of California, zone 9b. I have had a Oklahoma red bud in my small full sun back yard (my only tree) for 5 or 6 years. It's GORGEOUS and doing really well. We get high heat, high wind, and low humidity. It gets a little stressed by late summer, but we haven't had any health issues. I keep it cleaned up by removing unnecessary interior growth and I cut back the sides and bottoms in late spring. We love this showy tree. We want to add a flame thrower to our front yard, but it's so new there are no mature tree photos out there. I'm a little leary.
I planted 10 of them alongside my driveway because we had bad water runoff. They are super fast growing, in 3 years they looked fully grown up and around 15 ft tall. I had the bare root ones u get 10 for $10 every year from the arborday. lets just say i had at least 30 of them in my yard before I moved.Will be moving again to what i'm hoping to be my forever home and plan on planting them all over the place again.
Having trouble choosing between the Dogwood or the Redbud. I believe I prefer a redbud tree. Very Informative video. Thank you.
I have Alley Cat. It's variegated and supposed to be in full sun. But full sun in West Tennessee can be brutal so I planted it in light shade and it's a beautiful tree. I saw a Rising Sun in full sun and it was gloriously beautiful all summer so I bought and planted on in full sun too. It's looking good. I also bought a Carolina Sweetheart. It gets full morning sun and it looks fabulous.
Red Bud Trees are wonderful trees to live with.
Hi, i planted a Carolina sweet heart this fall, but in full Sun, I have no shade area to plant it. Zone 7b, it seems to be in to much Sun. How is yours doing?
@@RedCoin91 Hi,
The Carolins Sweetheart has grown, but so slowly! It is still less than knee high. It only gets morning sun and is planted under a massive oak tree. I believe it would be much better off had I planted it in full sun. I believe they are capable of prospering in that setting. I has a Rising Sun that grew beautifully in sun and currently have a Flamethrower that is also growing well. Flamethrower gets solid sun all day long.
After always using Redbuds as an understory tree it feels odd to place them in sun.
Good luck with your new tree.
I have a ruby falls redbud I planted this year. Love the look. I want to get a lavender twist or a vanilla twist next yeat
I really love my vanilla twist. Thanks for commenting.
They grow wild here, in fact one sprouted right in the perfect spot in front of my house! I have been trying to protect it from the guy who mows my yard, because he’s determined to kill it lol. I just purchased “Forest Pansy” and look forward to enjoying its shade on my patio.
Just got a Minnesota strain Eastern Redbud..I'm in North East PA. Planting it about 4 feet from a privacy fence. Hopefully I can shape it up over the 6 ft fence on that one side ..
Every seed sprouts! I pull hundreds as weeds because neighbors on both sides of me have redbuds hanging over my fence.
My Merlot Eastern Redbud is my fav tree. The purple is AMAZING! It just looks surreal. Unfortunately the main part of the trunk top about 6ft tall broke in a storm so it hasn’t grown any taller but man it’s like 14’ in diameter with the branches and creates an amazing canopy. The branches grow so long they almost touch the ground and I have to trim them back so they don’t break (and cause my dad whines about them when he mowed the lawn with the riding mower 🙄). But it’s my pride and joy!
We have some mimosa trees that have a lot of lichen this year and about 6 black Cherry trees (they don’t actually produce cherries) that are dropping leaves like crazy from black spot disease and I’m so terrified my Merlot is going to get sick too.
But yea, I love eastern redbuds. We have so many around our yard in our “natural privacy fence” (we just let about a 5’ space around our yard that we don’t now) and tulip trees, redbuds, mimosas and other grow like crazy.
I’m going to see if I can graft another eastern redbud onto the top to give it more structure so we’ll see!
You rock!... I live in Fayetteville,nc bought my 1st home this yr. The 1st plant I bought was an Eastern Redbud for 21.95 in a 2gallon... Its green foliage, I see some yellow heart shape foliage now. It does get decent sun.. I keep it water good... I cant wait to see the purple foliage you have.
Where did you buy it from?
@@tieuthudanhda9287 Roses-discount store. They sell trees and flowers... have to get the Redbuds early in spring. I saw some this year same price
@@cashrules520 thank you so much 😊
Well if you like the ones that he's shown, then you have to check out flamethrower! Ordered mine this spring should be here in a couple months they do sell out fast. Flamethrower
I received the Eastern Redbud from a Tree share....I have not been able to put it in the ground as I am in Boston but it is protected in a 15 gallon bucket.
Hi Jim, as soon as I saw your blooming blue hydrangea I had to subscribe. Thanks for showing all the different varieties of redbuds. I had known idea there were so many. I live in northern il. How do I decide which one to buy! 🥴 Great video. 👍🏼❤️
I have one purple cultivar called “burgundy hearts” and it performs great exposed to full sun all day in zone 8.
ooh! What is your humidity in summer like and hoe hot does it get?
I'm in 8B in western wa, was wondering how it does in full sun. Summer get fairly warm, so that's good to know!
Thank you for the video. I live in Memphis TN 7b and has a south facing front yard without shade. Will Forest pansy survive in full sun? Love the purple foliage of this tree.
Have you ever tried propagating them from the seed pods? I have an Eastern redbud that was given to me as a 1 foot sapling, and I would love to grow more now that it's producing pods!
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the great information about the red bud trees! I have a forest pansy RB it’s about a year old. It flowered and now has the red leaves. What do I do with the new clusters of flowers growing at the trunk of the tree?
the flowers are also edible on these trees and taste much like snap peas
I love the redbud! Thanks for the great info. I recently dug up about 5 or 6 saplings. I didn’t know they needed partial shade and I live in a wide open pasture. I’ve been watering them buckets but now I don’t know what to do with them because I don’t want them to die in full Sun and I can’t plant them too close to my house to utilize it’s shade… I don’t know why I just told you all of that. Anyway, great video
man, it sounds like you gotta plant some big trees, let em grow for a few years like 3 or 4 big trees and then plant some redbuds under em and make a tiny forest. Idk where your land is, but I might suggest the bald cypress tree, they love full sun and are super hardy trees they like really moist areas best though, they do grow these knots that come out of the ground but its nbd if you're making a tiny forest it will be pretty cool! Good habitat for birds too, the redbud will live for about 50 years, but the bald cypress tree can live for 2000 years and beyond. I just planted one, pretty cool to think I might have planted a tree that could be around in 2000 years.
@@fugooglescum415 hey thanks for the response! I moved the saplings out of the buckets and into the ground (Georgia red clay) and they’ve actually started to really take off! Growing taller and putting out more leaves. I’m really excited. Thanks for the info about the bald cypress, what an epic tree!
The Redbuds are just starting to bloom here in Ontario Canada on the north shore of Lake Erie. Redbud blossoms are edible and quite tasty.
Jim may I suggest a Tilley hat for sun protection...
I have one actually. Great hats. I actually went to three baseball games last week.
I really should have talked about them being edible. Even the stems were used in the past.
I want the plum colored ones
I'm in central NC and my wife and I are finishing up a new house build. I love redbuds and would love to get your opinion on some foundation landscaping...
nice video brother 😊👍
Thank you
Great show ,which is popular tree truck or schrub like red bud.thanks
I love redbud trees, one of my favorite parts of spring is driving on the highway and see bright flowers of purple peeking through the trees. I'm obsessed with purple/red foliage, I was thinking of getting a black lace elderberry shrub in the garden, do you think they do well in 7B?
The are listed for zone 7, but I never see them in 7b.
Our is leaning rght now .but hoping tlc restore it
I want to lower the canopy on mine (7a) . It’s about 15 feet tall and I like it thicker on top
Thanks for the video! I’m considering the flamethrower for the east side of my house in northern Utah, zone 7. Morning sun, afternoon shade in a protected alcove blocking direct wind and weather. We have frequent 100 degree days in summer with low humidity. Do you think this tree would do well?
I just found your UTube channel and have been enjoying seeing all that you do at your new location, it is going to be beautiful; you’ve got great ideas and plans for it. I just watched your episode about red bud trees and I have a question; btw I love red buds but don’t see too many of them in our area. I know your are familiar with my area because you mentioned Loxley in one of your video’s, I am right down the road in Fairhope. Do you know if there is a variety that does well in our zone 9a?
Jim when you fertilize the redbud, do you put fertilizer by the trunk or do you put it around the drip line? Do you use an Espoma fertilizer and if so, may I ask which one? Thank you so much 🌷
Hi Jim, love your show! I wish your nursery was down here in Atlanta so I could stop by and purchase a few things. ☺️ What is the tree to the left of your Forest Pansy? Shown in the drone shot at about 10:39, of your video. It’s several feet taller and appears to have several teardrop shape leaves running down a main stem, water falling down the branches. I was thinking it might be some sort of Locust tree? I lost 5 of my Dogwood trees in the past 10 years, I was told they aged out (60yrs) I would like to replace them but not sure a new tree would survive in deep understory north facing shade. I’ve been considering Dogwood, Crape Myrtle or Redbud trees. I live near Midtown Atlanta which I think is zone 7 I have a rather dense old growth canopy, which includes a few Redbud understory volunteers. I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks!
Once again you are right on point! I just purchased a Forest Pansy Redbud for my side yard. How much growth should I expect per year in part shade zone 6a?
Weirdly, and I dont know why, mine has grown slow and steady over 20 years, but I planted one in Durham several years ago that grew 3 plus feet a year. It went wild. I prefer slow and steady really.
Hi there! Thanks for the informative video!! I would really like to plant this tree but, I have a perennial border which still has space for 1 high stem tree. I was wondering if a redbud lets through enough light for sun/half sun perennials? Als the crown of a redbud is half open?
I am not a gardener but trying at 61 yrs old
Hi there! I have two weeping red buds in my backyard that were planted about 2 years ago. I didn’t know what they were, so when I saw the branches hanging low I trimmed them all. Now the branches all grow toward the sky and only a couple grow downward. Have I ruined my tree? 😩
I heard today, you can eat the flowers on the trunk.
Arbor day will give you 10 free with a ten dollar donation. I think it depends on the zip code and they are tiny but its a good cause for both parties I think.
Are redbuds always wide? I have a frontyard with a space of 16×16 feet. Is there a variety which doesn't goes too wide as I don't want it to be invading neighbors front yard. I love the look of pink flowers of dogwood though. I am in zone 5(waterloo ontario), partial shade.
Hi Jim, What do you do about redbud leaf roller?
I planted one of these in memory of my mother in law two years ago. It is about five feet tall now and doing very well. I would like to move it but I just heard you say that they don’t like it. Should I chance it since it is so young ?
I got a redbud from the Arbor Foundation, planted the baby tree in a container. The tree did well last year, but now all the leaves are yellow. I transplanted it into the ground. Any ideas, advice? I live in California.
I’m in San Antonio Texas. My Eastern red bud in my back yard has been getting black spot the last couple years. Can you please tell me how to prevent or get rid of it. I absolutely love it and would hate to have to get rid of it.
I just purchased an Eastern Redbud from Tractor Supply, will it grow here in central Florida zone 9b?
I planted 2 redbuds in the fall and I do not see any swollen buds on it yet. They look like dead twigs. I hope they're not dead 😔
Can you use a marphyl soil enhancer or nitrogen liquid fertilizer? If so, how frequent?
Mine has an orange root surfacing on top the ground towards the driveway, Maryland 7a/b. Can I cut it off?
Sir.can.mognoliad.grow.with.cutking
Are these the same as Merlot Redbuds? I am thinking of planting 3 of these on the west side of my house where it is full TN sun all day.
Hi we were given a bunch of E.R.B. through a free program and because we had so many ( and wanted to plant them all ) we grouped them together in sets of three trees. Maybe not such a good idea? They are doing well but now we are thinking they wont stay that way. Any advice? ps. They are not the fancy cultivars, just ordinary redbud trees.
One of the most beautiful trees, I think. I have always wanted one. But, being in zone 8b I’m just scared to plant it. Our sun here in central Texas is brutal. Tfs.
You should try that Merlot variety that I showed in the video.
What would cause a red bud to have many thin trunks but growing very tall?
I have one that I grew from seed. It is about 4 yrs old and is quite slow growing... maybe too much shade its first couple of yrs. It has yet to produce the pink flowers. How many years does it take for them to produce those pink flowers?
Do you top trim your tree?
Uh oh. I planted an Eastern Redbud in the northwest corner of my backyard. It pretty much gets full sun. It’s still a young sapling. Wonder if I can move it...
I don't know where you live. If you're in the south, it may not be happy. You can monitor it this first summer. It won't kill it. It will just look fried.
I’m literally 10 minutes away from your old nursery, lol!
We are pretty far north, in high desert SE Idaho where summers are short, hot, and the air is dry. Can any take full sun here? Most of the ones I have seen around town are in part shade, but one seems like it is pretty much in the afternoon sun all day. Also-I would love to know if the squirrels will eat the seed pods. We love the squirrels and if we are going to have a tree dropping crap in fall, it would be nice if the squirrels could at least make use of it. They eat all the maple seeds, so having those little twirly pods all over the ground is not so annoying. Thanks.
They are best in part-shade pretty much everywhere.
Hi Jim,
I'm in southern ontario (canada) and my eastern redbud is growing fast, it's probably over 8 feet in just over two years, which I'm happy about. The leaves are big and green, when can I expect it to turn purple (after how many years)?
I’d love to know what size u got originally and if you wouldn’t mind sharing some photos of what it looks like today I’m about to plant one
As beautiful as the Eastern Redbud is, the downside is the pea pods that developed after the flowering. They drop everywhere and sprout which has been a source of aggravation for me as well as my neighbours. I’m wondering if all Eastern Redbud trees develop these pea pods or could it be there are female versions that only produce them? I live in Ontario, Canada and my Redbud has grown into a very large tree (30 feet) in 10 years and is producing more pea pods every year. I’m afraid that I’ll have to cut it down.
I’m in PA zone 6 and my 7 year old red bud must have died over the winter. No beautiful buds, no leaves. I enjoyed it a lot. Very sad.
Sorry to hear that.
Another great video! I live in Concord, NC and I planted a young (approx. 5ft) Eastern Redbud this spring. Flowers bloomed and then it leafed out only on the bottom of the tree. Is that because the lower part of the tree is the oldest growth? Thanks!
Is there no growth at the top yet?
@@JimPutnam Not yet. Do you think there is a problem? Thanks
It's almost June. Is the growth below the graft?
@@JimPutnam I didn't notice. If it is, the graft is very high. I heard you mention the graft on the vid so Iwill check it out tonight. Thanks
Where's a good place to buy one ? I'm in Charlotte NC...but willing to try mail order also
