Hearts of Gold Redbud
Cercis canadensis 'Hearts of Gold'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
Plant Family: Fabaceae
Plant Description: This Redbud will add a lot of interest to any landscape. Early spring brings lavender-purple blossoms that emerge on bare branches. Then, large heart-shaped leaves emerge orange-red, mature to a brilliant golden yellow and gradually fade to a pale, yellowish-green as summer approaches. The unique foliage alone makes this Redbud a perfect specimen plant or informal hedge.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Deciduous
Plant Care: Tree - Deciduous (single-stemmed woody plants that lose their leaves every winter): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most trees. With spring blooming trees, prune after the blooms are spent. Choose species that are resistant to pest damage. Monitor the tree for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis. Protect the trunk especially where maintenance activities, such as mowing, may cause damage. Newly planted trees in areas with high exposure should have the trunk protected during the winter.
