Rising Sun Redbud is one of the best landscape plants I have ever seen. This Flamethrower looks like an exceptional progression of the Rising Sun. Amazing 4 season appeal, the best.
p.s. there’s no way I’d trust growth sizes. my rising sun redbud is easily 15-20 ft tall which is significantly larger than the 8-12’ listed on the tag. Interested in swing the flamethrowers grow up so we can get a better idea of the real world growth and sizing
Yes, it is exciting and VERY NEW! 😁So, it will take a little while for it to make it into every garden center. Many folk don't even know about it yet.... but once they do, it will be great to see it popping up in people's gardens. I think if you listen to the video... you can figure out that we like it.... just a teeny, little bit!🤣
Once you get to try and enjoy it, I hope you'll take a few moments to let us all know your experiences with it. Sharing valuable information like this - is how we all learn and get the most from our gardens. Thanks for a helpful comment on The Rising Sun, it is everything that you describe (and more). ✔🌳👌
For anyone that doesn't know it, here's a link to another of our videos that features it: th-cam.com/video/sD_zerDDEe4/w-d-xo.html
@@marambula Thanks, as you've probably noticed (around the 2.4 minute mark in the video), I mention that we estimate the size to be about "15' to maybe 20' '". This may change as we get to watch more mature trees establish in different areas and growing conditions of our region. Because exciting new trees (like this one) are in such high demand, they are often pruned regularly in the nurseries for all propagation budwood that can be harvested - so it can be a little tricky to accurately get a handle on the exact size until we get to see more of them in the landscapes. That's why it is great to have you report on what you are seeing out there in your area. Thanks for taking the time.😄
I have flame thrower! This tree doesn’t disappoint!
That's great, don't forget to keep us posted on your progress. It will be nice to learn more about your experiences as it grows and matures.
Have you noticed the bees and other pollinators enjoying it? I always worry about hybrids not being good for the wildlife.
i love the color and shape of the leaf
Yes, it has beautiful warming shades that are always changing and with breezes, gently shimmering and moving too. It truly is..... SPECTACTULAR!
I got lucky and went to my local nursery to pick up a large pot, they had two in. One was already sold, I came back in about the other one the next day.
This has been on my wish list since my great horticulture friend shared it with me. Just planted her today and wanted to see a video of what she’s gonna look like in the future.
Well Done! You are in for a treat...., having this in your garden will be very special!
Looks like a case of the "early bird gets the worm" and demonstrates the advantages of compiling a wish list, and then checking in at garden centers regularly to check out the new arrivals (throughout the seasons).
Another tack that David finds works well for him, is to quietly mention to the plant buyers too, that you are after something..... It may take a little while for them to obtain it, but if you have them looking for you, there's a good chance they will come up with it eventually.
Be sure, to keep us updated on your progress with it, and also if you don't mind, please share the knowledge and click the "like" icon on this or any of our other videos that you find helpful, because that will help other people find the information too.
W👁W ... isn't she lovely!! Maybe one day I'll find her in mine! ♥️🧡💛💚 Thank you, David.
Thanks. It is becoming better known about and the availability is increasing all the time. But you know what they say about trees... "You plant them for the next generation", so maybe it is time to plant it YESTERDAY!
Stunning.
No doubt about it.
Just bought one and planted her in front of my porch today. I also planted a bloodgood Japanese maple on the side of my porch as the first one died where from full sun last summer. Hoping the compliment each other.
Well done! 😃💚👍
That sounds like a lovely combination the colors should play off each other wonderfully - especially in spring and again in the fall.

I would love to see what a mature tree looks like
Since it is so very popular - In a few years there will be lots of them in people's gardens for us all to see
I love your voice
Thank you, it is what it is!
Fell in love with this tree immediately, although I don't know where I can plant it, I still pre ordered for spring 2022, along with the rising sun. Just can't say no, but my husband prefers my plants addiction/ collection over diamonds anytime, lol...
Can I plant it in a large container till I find a spot for it?
Good choice. Much prettier and much more interesting than cold, hard, inanimate (over-rated) crystalized carbon!
Our trees are grown in large pots and will continue to grow in these pots for at least a season, but when it comes to winter because the roots may freeze (depending upon where you live) they will need to be planted out, protected in a sheltered spot or moved into a larger container with larger soil volume. The neat thing about these redbuds is that since they are grown primarily for their foliage color and respond well to pruning, they can be pruned annually in spring (after they flower) to keep them within bounds.😊👏
@@OverdevestNurseries than you very much for the advice, so excited
I appreciate your pleasing voice and love your accent.
This is a beautiful variety. I am in zone 7, Piedmont Triad. I have a young Rising Sun Redbud which is limping along. Its leaves are a fair bit tattered and rough looking. I believe it might actually be planted too shallow. Arborist couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's in full sun. A mystery.
First, thank you for your kind comments.... it is appreciated!
Secondly, don't be too concerned because redbuds will often take a little while to get going. They are members of the pea and bean family with roots that are not the best "transplanters" (which is why we grow all our redbuds in pots and why we treat them in a special way to encourage a healthy, well established fibrous root system before we send them to the garden centers). I also wouldn't worry too much about it being planted "too shallow", because while this is not ideal, redbuds have the ability to root down into the soil and get all they need eventually. If you haven't already, I would definitely encourage you to mulch the area above the root zone and of course keep it clear of grass and weed competition and water it during dry periods. Because of the "tattered leaves" it sounds like you have it out in an open position, which is OK, but if you look at redbuds in nature they are usually found in woodland groves, so they are better in sheltered sites or planted in the lee of other trees or evergreens. Therefore, it might be a good idea to erect a temporary shelter screen to protect it - especially in the early part of spring when the new soft plastic-like leaves are emerging. Later on (once established) it will probably be OK, but perhaps if you have the space, you might consider planting some other things upwind to shelter it a little bit.
Finally, this (Flamethrower) is amazing (truly breath taking). It is still very new and only available yet in limited numbers but when you get a chance (and you are lucky enough to find one) - YOU SHOULD GET IT!
Thanks again for your nice comments - my accent is what it is... like it or not, it is what it is!
@@OverdevestNurseries thanks so much for the great information! I will heed all your advice.
Really appreciate the detailed descriptions you provide. I have the Cercis Merlot which is a pretty spectacular tree with its semi translucent leaves, will need to wait for this one in the UK as it's still not available at the time of writing.
Thanks, we are pleased to hear that you find our efforts useful and interesting. Dr. Werner has been doing some sterling work and you are in for a terrific treat when you get our hands this spectacular selection. It will be interesting to hear how it performs in your milder, cloudier conditions. I would expect you will get even more lush growth with perhaps larger, more colorful leaves! Keep us posted!
Such a beautiful tree. I ordered one and should be here in two days, it's late October in Zone 6, will it be ok to plant just before winter. Now I wonder if I should have waited. Thanks so much.
We are big advocates of Fall planting....., its nature's planting time. The soil is still warm after the summer and now with the Autumn rain it is moist too, so they quickly settle in and establish a good system in their new location. They will not look like grow they are growing much above ground, but under the soil level they will rapidly be sending out vigorous roots that will enable the top growth to take off next spring and cope with the demands of their first spring and early summer. A lot depends the quality and production system of the plants from your chosen supplier, so we are unable to comment on that, but we know that the trees we ship (like those shown in this video) to our partnering garden in our region (including Zone 6): grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ are grown in large pots with a special production system that ensures our trees are equipped to make a rapid and successful transition to their new location. That's why when you remove the pots from our trees, you will find a well established, non girdling, fibrous root system that is comprised of lots of fine feeder roots (instead of encircling ones that run around the inside of small pots), all these fine roots quickly grow out into the surrounding soil at this time of year to establish. and get poised to take off in spring.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thank you so much for this information, I could not find anything about planting redbuds, on TH-cam so I went to my latest growers who've commented on FlameThrower Redbud. Much appreciated viewer of your channel. Cheers 💕
I have a nice sized one now and it seems to have more of a weeping structure than I expected. Guess that's not surprising since you mention that this is a hybrid of ruby falls x rising sun?
Wow, well done! You were quick of the mark?
You are one of the very few privileged people, to have one, that's impressive!
Yes, you are correct in that the habit becomes more pendulous, graceful and elegant as it matures.
If you don't mind, keep us all updated on your progress, it is always helpful to know how the plants perform in real garden situations.
@@OverdevestNurseries , I am in the United States and I think we have more here available. Just stumbled across your video when I was trying to get.more information on the tree last year. Really enjoyed it. Very well done with useful information. Will keep you posted. I've left it in a large pot the last two years and waiting until the fall to put it in the ground
I see conflicting advice about growing it in full sun vs part sun. Because I value your expertise, would you please let me know what the best light conditions for this tree are? Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for reaching out to us, and thanks for your nice comment also.
The short answer is that either will be fine, but if it helps, let us tell you that we grow all of our plants out in the open, in sunny conditions. That helps us make sure our plants are stockier and bushier, and well-shaped with plenty of beautiful colored foliage.
The critical thing to remember that Redbuds are not the world's best transplanters and that's why we go to a lot of trouble to grow our plants in a special process in pots that makes sure they have a fine fibrous root system.
Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/SNu2CI10oF0/w-d-xo.html to another of our videos (also on this channel) that will not only show you what they look like, where we were planting it (also in a bed, out in the open), but also (we hope), you will be interested to see David's suggestion on how to plant them, including the very important part where we describe how its important to water them well until they get established.

@@OverdevestNurseries thank you so much!!! You are truly helpful and amazing 🙏
Gosh gorgeous but I live in Northern Ireland and it rains a lot here n have clay soil….please tell if it’s ok to plant this beauty, if I can get it here. I enjoyed watching your video. I have a 6’ forest pansy And a 5’ in front but it did not flower and tree looks so scorny in front garden. Also a Cercis Covey which had few white flowers it is 6’ tall and in a large pot but has very large green leaves….
Thank you for reaching out to us (and BTW, David sends his regards to everyone from his homeland).
Flame Thrower is primarily grown for its spectacular foliage and the flowers appear more prolifically on Redbuds as they mature, so your young plants will flower better as they get older.
We would expect it to grow just like the other redbuds, so if you have Forest Pansy and Covey doing well, then Flame Thrower will do well too.
With clay soil, one thing you might consider is to bring in sandy or gritty soil and create a raised bed so that the root system is up above the normal soil level, that way you wouldn't have to be concerned about the soil being too wet and saturated during heavy rainfall periods.
If you take a look at some of David's other videos for instance this one on Lavender: th-cam.com/video/4A55OCs82t0/w-d-xo.html you will see how we created raised beds here in our nursery trial areas. We have sandy soil but there's a layer of clay beneath that, so this is how we deal with it.

Beautiful tree! I'm curious how it would do in a hot zone 9 climate where temps get up over 100 degrees. I wonder if the colors would be muted.
Our only experience with it is in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA region, so we cannot say for certain. The best thing would be to check with your local garden center experts and get their opinion.
@@OverdevestNurserieswill it survive in zone 4 or 5
Before the Spring should I prune the long branches so they are tighter to the trunk, or just let them hang down and blow in the breeze? I have two 6-footers in my yard in Illinois that I planted in May.
It is really up to yourself. Either would work, they respond very well to pruning, so you could trim them back as you describe to keep them tighter in shape but also lusher side branches with larger leaves. Personally, I like the natural, slightly pendulous habit but as I mention above it is up to yourself.
Love your videos! When I’m looking to learn about a specific plant, your channel is always my first source.
I planted a 8 ft tall Flame Thrower Redbud tree in mid June this year by the west side of my house facing south. It seems to have done ok, the only thing is, it’s losing the color variety in its foliage comparing to when I first got it, now most of the leaves are green with very few yellow/red leaves (which can’t even be detected unless I go into the tree and look for them). Is there anything I can do to bring the colors back? Thanks 😊
I think the color will be more pronounced in the earlier part of the year (when it is growing strongest), and also because your plant is still getting settled in and establishing, it will not be making as much new growth as it will when it is fully established and thriving (which may take a few years). To keep the color coming, it will be important to supplement the watering in dry, summer weather, and if you haven't already, it would be good to put down a 3" deep layer of mulch and eliminate any grass root competition if it is in a lawn area. I expect you will see much better color in subsequent years, when it is fully rooted in, and growing strongly.
@@OverdevestNurseries
Thanks for your prompt reply in details, which helps a great deal to put me at ease, I can sleep better now 😀 (the tree was expensive lol), much appreciated!
How is your flame thrower doing? Which zone are you in? Thanks
@@cavemancaveman9746
I live in north Alabama zone 7B, my flamethrower came back beautifully this year in spring and has since grown bigger/fuller and even more magnificent with consistent new-grow colors, from deep red, bright red, different hues of oranges to yellow and chartreuse…been getting constant compliments from neighbors and visitors. Too bad there’s not a way to attach photos under TH-cam comments session. The author of this channel was spot on, it just needed some time and care to develop its root system. I think it might’ve done even better if I had pruned it in winter.
I had my flamethrower 3 years and this year she lost her flame. Will it come back next year? She was a show stopper but not any more. 😢
Sometimes, when plants are struggling it hot, dry conditions they will prematurely drop their foliage and go into a kind of summer dormancy, and this summer (as we drive around neighborhoods in our region), we see quite a lot of plants that are struggling to cope. That's why its important too incorporate lots of organic matter at planting time, mulch the planting spot well, and supplement with extra watering during these stressful periods.
If you haven't discovered it yet, here's a link to one of David's videos that will explain more: th-cam.com/video/SNu2CI10oF0/w-d-xo.html.
So, there is hope that your plant may revive and grow away again, but of course in the meantime it is important to do what you can to help it survive, which includes watering if these hot, dry weather conditions persist.

Hello David. Will you be doing a video on the Hearts A'Fire Redbud? Will it be available from Overdevest? Thank you.
Yes we grow it, and we'll ask David to try to shoot a little video to fill you in on its lovely features.
It's proving popular with our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/. so David will have to try to get to them before they are all shipped out!
You see, there's often a race on between David and our sales department....., he is trying to get them recorded when they are looking at their best, meanwhile of course, the garden centers all want them at the same time, so that they have them, and they are looking nice when you came to choose them - so we will see who wins!

wonder if flame redbud seeds are available for seeds
Thanks for asking. This is a selected form that has to be propagated vegetatively ("budded") which is skilled operation that requires a great deal of knowledge and expertise.
Even if seed was available, the plants would not come true to type, it tales quite a long time for the "babies" to grow up, and they do not transplant well as bare root trees too.
So, saving up and investing in one of our specially grown (container grown) specimens is a worthy investment. Maybe there's a special occasion (birthday, wedding anniversary etc.) coming up that would provide a good reason to splurge!
Like David mentions in this video on planting them: th-cam.com/video/SNu2CI10oF0/w-d-xo.html trees like this one are a wonderful way to commemorate special events. Something that lasts for years and gets bigger and better as it grows.
I don’t have space for a tree but I want this one.
We understand. One thing in your favor is that Cercis respond really well to pruning! So, because the new foliage is so fantastic, you could try pruning it hard every spring and in that way keep it so that it doesn't take up as much space and enjoy the benefit of larger, more luxuriant leaves. Alternatively "leg it up" (remove lower branches), so you grow two tiers of garden plants i.e. allow it to branch out about other shade loving plants .
What’s the best time to plant this one ?
Isla Grace if it’s supplied in a pot anytime for he year.
Hi I planted my flame thrower cercis tree in the en of winter is growing ok but at fionly give just few flowering then beautiful leaves bot and the beginning of summer the leaves just turn green even the new baby leaves.
My question is what I can do do get those beautiful leaves back thanks.
Thanks for your question. Over the years, I noticed that it is not unusual to see relatively recently planted specimens go into a kind of suspended summer state. It often takes a few years for them to settle in to their new position, root out into the surrounding soil and build an extensive root system. Once they do this, they are then able to draw up sufficient moisture and nutrients to keep growing vigorously right through the heat and stresses of the summer months. The symptoms you describe are an example of this, and while it may not be growing much above ground, it will be steadily making root under the surface, so if it is possible to do some regular supplemental watering and refresh the mulch ,this will help to keep the roots cool and moist. A good (3-5 minutes) long drink in the evening or early in the morning, a couple of times during the week especially during any prolonged dry periods will certainly help. Try to direct the water in at the base of the tree (not spritzed over the top (this just evaporates off) and the when you have "nursed" your tree through the rest of the year, you should start to see plenty of healthy colorful foliage in subsequent years. Just be careful not to over do it (it won't like it soaking wet for long periods either) and don't worry about any fertilizer etc. it will get all it needs form the remains of the pot grown root ball.
Thanks appreciate the tip I’ll do
I planted a redbud flamethrower about a year and a half ago. I live in Portland Oregon. Now some of the leaves are getting black spots and some of the leaves are wilting any idea what I can do?
Sounds like there's possibly a fungal leaf pathogen present, but that should not be a problem this late in the season because the plant will be getting ready to drop its leaves shortly,
Its not unusual to see spots on leaves this late in the season, and the chances are that next spring the new foliage will arrive fresh and healthy.
That said, to be on the safe side, it would be wise to rake up these old leaves to clean up the site and remove the chances of any carry over of spores.
We hope this helps.

Since one year I have got one of the Cercis Flame Thrower (in Holland is named Cercis Ethernal Flame) but all de brunches are on one side of the tree. Wat is de beste time to cut/train de branches of this cercis?
Early spring (before the buds start swelling) is the best time to prune Redbuds. The good news is that they respond very well to pruning, so in time you should be ablet to build a nice well shaped head.
I've seen several reports and comments about the tree dying on the top the first year or two in the ground? Have you heard the same. It'll then regrow from the bottom up?
Depending upon the history of the tree, the conditions, time of year, transportation, the transplanting technique etc. etc. sometimes some trees do not always transplant the way that we would like them to. So, we (and our partnering garden centers) go to a lot of trouble to make sure that the trees we grow are healthy, well shaped, pot grown specimens that are equipped and ready to make a seamless transition to their new sites. That's why when you remove the pots from our trees, you will find a well established root system that is comprised of lots of fine fibrous roots that quickly root out into the surrounding soil to establish and grow away. If some of the things I mention above occur, then the tree will try to survive and that's when the parts closer to the ground will try to regrow. Mulching and regular watering will help them make the transition too.
We have deer visit our yard. Would I need to surround it with a cage?
That would probably be a wise move! It is so beautiful, it would be a shame to see the tips nibbled or the stem damaged by a buck rubbing his antlers. Once it gets its head and lower branches above the grazing level, it will (like in nature) be fine, but until then, it would be good to erect a protective barrier.
Too bad you don't sell plants online ;)
Thanks, we work with the partnering garden centers in our region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ because together we try to provide the freshest, healthiest and best looking plants, supported by the best service we all can muster💚. A finely honed system 🧖♂🧖♀that tries to make sure the plants that are stocked..... are locally grown, presented at the peak of their development, selected to be right for each neighborhood and strengthened by on the spot advice and guidance by people who live and know the conditions and intricacies of that area👌. Our videos, pictures and website portrays a lot about the details of the plants, BUT there's nothing quite like the REAL THING.😁😅..! We believe.... Seeing👀 , touching 🤌, smelling👃 , comparing 🪴🌲🌳🌿 considering (and reconsidering) 🤔 is all part of the process of making the right choice. For a lot of us, that experience outweighs the convenience of a few mouse clicks.😉👍
Question: would this flame thrower redbud produce seeds ? 🙏🏻🌸
It is the result of a hybrid cross and so there is a possibility that it might be sterile and not produce seeds. But, we don't know because we have never seen any seed on any of our plants or even heard of any being recorded on the original plant. It normally takes several years for Redbuds to become mature enough to set seed and because this is new selection, all our plants haven't reached that stage. So, we simply don't know (yet).
What is the oak variety at the 9 second mark in the video?
Well spotted! It is Quercus "Crimson Spire' a really lovely upright grower with wonderful Autumn color. Here's a link to one of our videos that will explain more about it.
Will the leaves on this redbud burn in full sun in zone 8B? I rarely see a redbud in this area.
I am afraid USDA Zone 8b is outside of our region and therefore I cannot give you a definitive answer except to say that where the trials took place (that I mention in the video) is in Zone 7 and therefore there is a likelihood that it will be OK with you too. What I suggest is that you get in touch with the best garden center experts in your area and check with them. This selection is so new, that we have yet to discover more about it. Especially its limits outside of our region and the trials that we've been involved with. The plant experts at many family owned garden centers are a terrific source of experience and local knowledge and often can provide tremendous insights and on the spot guidance.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thank you so much for your quick response!
Hi. I really enjoy watching all of your videos. I just bought one of these today it’s amazing looking. I’m planting it in the middle of a bed that’s
12’ deep X 50’ long. I’m looking for some suggestions what to pair it with.
I’m in the Northeast and the area will get sun from 10-2 approximately maybe a little more. Ty
Well done....., you now belong to a pretty exclusive club of Cercis Flame Thrower owners! It is going to be FABULOUS and we hope you are able to enjoy it for many years to come. As for other things, there's loads of possibilities..... and probably the best thing to do is scan through our videos (here on this channel) or visit (frequently) some of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ to survey what else "catches your fancy"! We are continuing to deliver fresh plants every week (right through the summer and Fall), so by stopping in regularly you will be treated to all sorts of exciting possibilities. What I would suggest is that you look for perennials, grasses and shrubs that compliment the orangery-red hues but also (importantly) extend the interest in spring, autumn and winter - so your Flame Thrower is just one the performers in your year round concert of color and interest.

Just FYI, I planted Lenten roses circling the trunk of my flame thrower, with assorted varieties of heucheras as mid layer (2nd circle) and creeping phlox as border circle, seems to have worked out well so far.
I want to buy a Flame Thrower Redbud Tree immediately, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t survive planting in 80 degree June temperatures here in WNY. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
A well grown specimen in a pot like we feature is video should be fine.
We grow them in a special way to have a fibrous root system that, when they are well watered (before and after planting), will transplant very well.
There's a video on "How to plant a container grown tree" here on this channel that will explain a lot more.
@@OverdevestNurseries TYVM!
Is this a weeping plant?
The branches hang down a little at the tips but it is a not a weeping form like some of the others.
May I buy some flamethrower redbud tree seeds please? Tyvm!
It is a selected variety that does not come true from seed, so vegetatively propagated (budded or grafted) plants produced by licensed growers is how it is available.
Ordinary green Redbuds (Cercis canadensis) can be easily raised from seed but selected forms (like this one) have to be propagated by experts.

Finally, now with the cooler weather of Fall, it brings with it the BEST TIME of PLANTING and since our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ are continuing to bring in stocks of gorgeous plants, if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look…. Because that’s where you will discover all sorts of beautiful, tried and true and cutting edge, top performing selections.
Can this Flamethrower grow in California?
Our experience is limited to our Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region but my understanding is that it will grow in Northern California, but it would be best, to check with your local garden center people. They know your local conditions, they will know what plants thrive and which ones don't! And the other thing I would suggest is that you keep an eye out as drive around you neighborhood and see if you spot any other Redbuds, because if you see them doing well in other people's gardens in your area, they are likely to do well for you too. They will be easily spotted in spring when they are flowering.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thanks you for the information, appreciate it
that’s solid advice!
I live in CA, growing zone 9 and I have two of them. In late July/Aug the sun scorches some leaves but other than that, they're beautiful
No hardiness zone information :(
Here is a link to our website that will give you more information including the hardiness rating: grownbyoverdevest.com/plant/flame-thrower-eastern-redbud/
Hope this helps.
