Oklahoma Redbud Tree – 5 Gallon Pot

A standout among Redbud trees and our favorite among the green-leaved varieties, ‘Oklahoma’ has the glossiest leaves and the darkest flowers of any other. In early to mid spring. LOADS of brilliant dark purple pea-like flowers literally cover the bare branches. Immediately after flowering the heart-shaped leaves begin emerging in reddish shades quickly turning to a super-shiny rich green throughout the season until turning bright golden-yellow with the arrival of cool temperatures in fall. Easy to grow, Oklahoma Redbud is a spectacular North American native flowering tree that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow, in full sun or shade!

Growing upright with an irregular rounded form 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, the Oklahoma Redbud is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in sunny or shady landscape or woodland borders. Also nice to frame the corners of tall homes and to provide beauty and some shade around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to purple theme gardens, native gardens, woodland gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:   30 feet or more for space between trees

 

The Oklahoma Redbud tree is very easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil and full sun or shade. It is very drought tolerant when established. Standing water or constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic.
