A spectacular flowering tree known for its prolific dark wine-red blooms up to 2.5cm long (1in) that flower on bare stems before the large, lustrous heart-shaped leaves emerge with a pinkish tinge. The foliage of this deciduous, spreading redbud cultivar matures to bright green in summer before turning brilliant yellow and occasionally orange or red in autumn.

Hardy and adaptable, Cercis canadensis var. texensis 'Oklahoma' develops into a fabulous 3-season, multi-stemmed tree for small gardens.

How to care for Cercis canadensis var. texensis Oklahoma:

When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment.

Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the collar of the tree is above ground level.

Support taller specimens either with a bamboo cane and or stake during establishment. Water generously around the base of the plant.
