Description
Cercis canadensis Ruby Falls forms a compact weeping tree with arching branches covered in dark rose flowers before the leaves appear. Heart-shaped foliage follows in maroon-red and purple, shifts toward green in late summer, and turns yellow in fall.
At roughly 5 to 8 feet tall and wide, this small tree fits courtyards, borders, and compact gardens. Plant it in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain the canopy’s shape.
