Description

Cercis chinensis 'Avondale' is an ideal choice for a very small garden tree. Flowering well in this climate despite its Chinese origin, many dense clusters of deep magenta pink to lilac purple, pea-like flowers form. The vibrant pink flowers adorn the bare branches in March-April, slightly earlier than other Cercis varieties and great for dispelling the winter grey.

After the pleasing display of spring flowers, rich green, glossy round foliage emerges offering a great foil for other plants throughout the summer. The foliage turns shades of buttery yellow in the autumn for added interest.

Cercis 'Avondale' is a small tree that can be grown in a large container for several years and, if pruned after flowering, will maintain a bushy and attractive rounded shape. The Chinese Redbud will grow to just 2.5 x 2.5 metres in 20 years, making it the perfect small garden tree. Cercis 'Avondale' will thrive in most soils, including those which are dry or chalky and is reasonably drought tolerant once established. For maximum flowering, plant in an open sunny position where light levels are high.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
