Description
Redbud Ruby Falls is a stunning weeping ornamental tree that delivers a bold splash of color and refined elegance to the landscape. In early spring, its cascading branches are covered in a magnificent display of rosy-purple flowers, creating a breathtaking statement. As the blooms fade, deep burgundy heart-shaped leaves emerge, maintaining their rich color throughout the growing season. This tree’s dramatic weeping habit, combined with its polished foliage, makes it an inspiring focal point for small landscapes, entryways, and mixed plantings. With its satisfying structure and vibrant seasonal interest, Ruby Falls adds a grand presence despite its compact size.
General Care
