Ruby Falls Redbud Tree

Ruby Falls Redbud grows to a mature size of 6–8 feet tall and 5–6 feet wide, with a naturally weeping form that makes it perfect for small gardens, patios, and tight landscape areas.

This tree has a moderate growth rate, typically growing 12–18 inches per year under ideal conditions with consistent watering and sunlight.

Plant in a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It does especially well in morning sun with some afternoon shade in hot climates. Ideal as a specimen tree in front yards, courtyards, or landscape beds.

Ruby Falls blooms in early spring, before leaf-out, with lavender-pink flowers that cover its bare branches and attract pollinators like bees.

The heart-shaped leaves emerge as deep burgundy to reddish-purple in spring and mature to a rich green-purple mix in summer, offering striking foliage contrast all season.

Yes, it’s hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, able to withstand winter temperatures down to around -20°F once well-established.

Yes, it is a deciduous tree, meaning it drops its leaves in fall and goes dormant in winter. Its bare, weeping form remains attractive year-round.

It grows best in full sun to partial shade, needing at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering and foliage color. In hotter zones, some afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch.

Minimal pruning is needed. Prune after flowering in late spring to remove any dead or crossing branches and to maintain shape. Avoid pruning in early spring, as this can reduce flowering.

Yes! Its compact size and cascading form make it ideal for small spaces, urban gardens, and containers, offering four-season beauty in a limited footprint.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
