The Rising Sun Redbud Tree – 7 Gallon Pot (4-5′)

An unrivaled foliage and flower color factory spring through fall, the Rising Sun is hands down our favorite of all the Redbud varieties we have growing in our gardens. The incredible color show starts in spring when clusters of bright purple, pea-like flowers cover the branches. Just as the flowers begin to fade you’ll notice the emergence of vivid apricot new leaves that quickly turn to an eye-catching bright golden-yellow, then to chartreuse and finally to a medium green. The orange new leaves continue to come throughout the spring and early summer for a multi-color effect that will blow your socks off! The fastest growing redbud. By mid-summer the leaves turn to light and medium green and then finally to a vivid bright yellow in fall. 

We’ve had The Rising Sun Redbud growing in our own gardens since 2013 and it has demonstrated excellent heat and sun tolerance, drought tolerance, heavy periods of rainfall, you name it…this tree has thrived through everything our north-central Georgia climate has thrown at it.
