High quality at a low price Cercis canadensis ‘Zig Zag’Eastern Redbud

This unique variety is known for its distinctive zig-zagging branches, which form a bold and graphic silhouette. The sharp, angular lines of Cercis Zig Zag create year-round interest, with their dynamic structure standing out even in winter. By early spring (March/April), the bare branches are transformed as they burst into clusters of small, pea-like pink flowers, offering a stunning display and attracting early pollinators like bees with their abundant nectar and pollen. After flowering, heart-shaped leaves emerge, providing further visual appeal. As autumn arrives, the foliage turns vibrant shades of orange, while the signature zig-zag pattern of the branches remains visible. This small, slow-growing tree is perfect for small to medium gardens, offering continuous visual interest throughout the seasons. Maximum height: 6m (20ft). Maximum spread: 7.6m (25ft). As plant height and spread vary with the seasons, we list plants by pot size rather than a fixed height, so the exact size of the tree upon arrival may differ depending on the time of year. A unique variety, each branch has a distinctive zig-zag pattern, creating a strikingly graphic silhouette. Grow Cercis chinensis in rich fertile, moist, well drained soil. Choose a sheltered position in full sun. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Plant Eastern Redbud trees at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery.
