Forest Pansy Redbud
Forest Pansy Redbud Year Round Appeal in a Small Ornamental Tree Early spring flowers and fall colors are the hallmark of this excellent small tree. The Forest Pansy Redbud (Cercis canadensis, ‘Forest Pansy’) would make a spectacular spring accent tree near your home’s entrance or along a walkway or patio. You’ll know spring has arrived when your Redbud explodes into vibrant hues of red-purple. While much of your landscape still lies dormant, Redbud will be covered for 3-4 weeks with a profusion of flowering clusters on grey branches. You’ll be amazed by how they seem to emerge directly from the woody bark. Snip a few of the fragrant blossoms to bring a little of that spring excitement indoors! The heart-shaped leaves introduce the next display of color with their reddish-purple shade that gradually blends into a deep green. Autumn arrives with the same intensity as spring as your Redbud’s leaves transform to a profusion of reds, purples, and yellows. Forest Pansy is a cultivar of the wildly popular Redbud tree. This variety has the stellar qualities of the original, but the flowers are a more intensely red-purple hue. Its growth rate is medium to fast, and its mature height is 20-30 feet. In no time at all you’ll have a small tree ready to attract hummingbirds and pollinators to your yard. The spread of the flat to rounded canopy is 25-35 feet, so it won’t take up too much room. This Redbud doesn’t even require much care, and tolerates many different soil conditions. For a small accent tree, Forest Pansy Redbud has it all. Spring, summer and fall color in one easy-to-care for ornamental tree. * Early spring color* Brilliant fall color* Low-growing tree* Year round interest* Hardy

| Sunburst Honeylocust - Sale Price: $107.05 Shade Tree with a Tropical Feel The Sunburst Honeylocust is a deciduous tree prized for its lovely foliage. They make lovely front yard specimens, and a few planted along the street would also draw attention. Your Sunburst Locust’s light green leaves and open canopy will create the charming effect of dappled sunlight in your yard rather than the full shade that more dense trees provide. It’s a way to have shade without the heavy, sometimes overwhelming presence of the larger trees such as Oaks or Redwoods. Your Locust is big without being too big and shady without being too shady for your grass and other plantings. Having a Sunburst Locust is a way for you to have all the benefits of a Locust tree without the two features many people dislike. By choosing a Sunburst Locust, you’ll be free of the thorns (that can be quite sharp), and the seed pods (that can be messy), that other Locusts have. Leaves of the Sunburst Locust are eight inches long and composed of many small, individual leaflets. This gives the foliage a tropical, fern-like appearance and will feel pleasantly soft and smooth as you run the leaves through your fingers. Leaves begin as yellow in the spring, transition to green and again turn yellow in the fall. Small green-yellow flowers form in the spring and into early summer, but aren’t very showy. Bees and other pollinators will love the Locust in your yard though, and make good use of those early blooms. The Sunburst Locust’s hardy nature means you won’t have to provide any special care to ensure its success. It can also grow up to 2 feet a year, so you won’t have to wait long for a mature tree to grace your yard. The Sunburst Locust is a lovely tree and a superior choice for your landscape. * Attractive foliage* No thorns or seed pods* Fast growing |
