Overview
Cercis Canadensis 'Rising Sun' is a gorgeous, rounded, compact ornamental tree providing multiple seasons of interest.
Description
This easy-to-grow tree displays a profusion of pea-like, pale pink flowers in spring, attracting bees, butterflies and birds into your outside space. This Redbud is a small, ornamental tree with large heart-shaped yellow-orange leaves maturing to lime green in the summer.
Cercis Canadensis 'Rising Sun' is an excellent addition to borders and is often seen in small gardens. The Redbud tree grows well in most conditions but prefers full/partial sun in well-drained soil. The ultimate height is 3m with a 3m spread.
Planting & After Care
Ensure to plant in its final location whilst still young, as the Cercis canadensis resents being transplanted. During planting, add plenty of well-rotted compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
They require minimal pruning, and removing broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter is best.
Size
Will grow to 3m x 2m after 10 years.
