The redbud tree usually flowers in early April and continues blooming for 2 to 3 weeks. Hundreds of magenta buds appear in clusters on all the tree’s bare branches, eventually opening as tiny, deep pink flowers, although some cultivars have white flowers.
When should I prune my Cercis?
Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. However for large foliage this variety can tolerate hard pruning in early spring once it is established, then apply a balanced general purpose fertiliser.
Why does my Judas tree not flower?
Thanks – it may just be that it doesn’t have long enough in direct sunshine. The sun goes off it at around 10.30am – though it gets masses of light. They grow naturally at woodland edges, where they get full sun…so it may be not enough direct sunlight.
