Ruby Falls is a compact, weeping variety of Redbud tree with the loveliest cascades of dark ruby red, heart-shaped leaves. In spring the branches erupt with clusters of purple flowers and in the autumn the leaves turn to a translucent dark burgundy – plant it where the light can shine through the leaves for a spectacular stained glass effect
Clusters of small purple flowers grow on bare stems all spring from March to May
A hardy, low maintenance deciduous tree
Grows to just 2m tall x 2m wide, making it ideal for the smaller garden or even growing in a pot
Show this one off in the front garden, in a large container on the patio or in a mixed border with light green foliage plants for contrast
Provides all-year round interest to your garden with colours for each season
Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
Please note that young trees often don’t have a weeping shape, particularly when they arrive early in the year after being pruned – but hold tight and that unique form will develop over time
