Cercis canadensis ‘Pink PomPom’ is a beautiful deciduous tree prized for its abundant, double pink flowers, attractive heart-shaped foliage and elegant branching structure. A distinctive cultivar of the Eastern Redbud, it makes an excellent specimen tree for adding colour and seasonal interest to the garden.

In spring, the bare branches become covered with clusters of fluffy, double pink flowers, creating a spectacular display before the leaves emerge. Unlike many flowering trees, the blooms appear directly along the branches and older wood, giving the tree an unusual and eye-catching appearance. The flowers provide an early source of interest for pollinating insects.

Following flowering, attractive heart-shaped green leaves emerge, forming a soft and rounded canopy. The foliage provides a fresh appearance throughout summer before developing attractive yellow tones in autumn. Once the leaves have fallen, the tree's naturally branching framework remains an attractive feature through the winter months.

Cercis canadensis ‘Pink PomPom’ is best planted in a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. A sheltered site is preferable, particularly for younger trees, helping to protect the spring flowers and emerging foliage from strong winds and late frosts. Once established, it is relatively easy to maintain and generally requires only occasional pruning to remove unwanted or crossing branches.

Its attractive form and manageable size make it suitable for a range of garden settings, including lawns, borders, courtyards and larger planting schemes. It works particularly well as a specimen, where its spectacular spring flowering can be fully appreciated.

For customers looking for a flowering tree with plenty of character, Cercis canadensis ‘Pink PomPom’ is an excellent choice.
