Description

The Avondale Redbud is the perfect choice for the smallest spaces. This naturally dwarf, compact variety is covered in a breathtaking mass of deep pinkish-purple flowers in spring. Its small, dense form requires almost no pruning, making it an ideal flowering tree for patio containers, small gardens, or under power lines in the Bay Area.

  • A remarkably heavy bloomer, producing an incredible density of deep rose-lavender flowers that can nearly obscure the branches in spring.

  • Naturally grows in a very compact, shrub-like, upright form, typically not exceeding 10-12 feet in height and spread.

  • Is ideally suited for container growing on patios or for planting in confined spaces where larger trees would not fit.

  • Requires minimal to no pruning to maintain its neat, rounded shape, offering maximum impact with minimal effort.

  • Its smaller size does not compromise the intensity of the classic redbud floral display.
