Judas Tree | Cercis siliquastrum

• One of the earliest trees to flower in spring, Cercis bursts into colour in April and keeps its large clusters of spectacular bright pink blooms right throughout May. 
• The flowers are said to look like hummingbirds, with showy blooms tapering off into long, thin beak-like stems
• They’re set amongst bright green, heart-shaped foliage that turns a gorgeous range of golden yellow and bronze tones in the autumn
• Cercis are fully hardy trees, happy in both full sun and partial shade, and will tolerate most soil types. Slow growing and compact, they’re perfect for even small gardens
• Clusters of reddish purple flattened seed pods hang from the branches in autumn
• One of the few trees to grow flowers from its trunk, in a natural phenomenon known as Cauliflory
• Holds the RHS Plants for Pollinators award for its value to bees, butterflies and other insects
• A low maintenance tree that’s drought tolerant once established
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
