Forest Pansy Redbud
Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy'
The Forest Pansy Redbud is a deciduous tree native to North America, primarily found in the eastern United States. It typically reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) and has a rounded to vase-shaped canopy, making it an excellent choice for landscaping and ornamental purposes.What sets the Forest Pansy Redbud apart is its remarkable foliage, which undergoes dramatic color changes throughout the seasons:Spring: In early spring, before the tree leafs out, it bursts into a profusion of small, rosy-pink to purple-pink flowers that cover the bare branches, creating a breathtaking display. These flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators like bees.Leaves: As the tree leafs out, the heart-shaped leaves emerge in shades of maroon or deep purple, gradually transitioning to dark green during the summer months. This unique coloration sets it apart from other Redbud varieties.Fall: One of the highlights of the Forest Pansy Redbud is its fall foliage. As autumn approaches, the leaves transform into vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and scarlet, creating a stunning contrast against the remaining greenery.Bark: The bark of mature Forest Pansy Redbuds is smooth and silvery gray, adding to its aesthetic appeal in the winter months.These aesthetic features make the Forest Pansy Redbud a prized addition to gardens, parks, and residential landscapes. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full to partial sun, making it adaptable to various growing conditions.Remember that while this tree can be a stunning addition to your landscape, it's crucial to follow proper care guidelines. Regular watering is essential for maintaining its beauty and vigor.

What customers say
Five-star reviews from neighbors and landscapers who have shopped Garden Gate.
Amazing quality trees, incredible customer service. There is a reason Garden Gate has all 5 star reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks so much for all of your help and for these beautiful trees!
This is the 3rd year we've bought trees from Garden Gate Nursery, each time we've been impressed with the knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness; even telling us, in one instance that what we need we could get somewhere else. We look forward to when they open to the public each year. We've bought 10-12 trees so far and all are doing great. We won't buy a tree anywhere else! Thank you! PS Even if I wasn't going to buy a tree, I'd still go out there every year just for the experience, it's huge and amazing!
Such a great experience and so happy we found this nursery! All of the people there were super friendly and the dogwood tree that we purchased is very healthy and beautiful! We will be going back.
Garden Gate Nursery has numerous tree species to choose from. During my visit, I couldn’t help but notice how healthy all trees looked, and how the grounds were so well kept. The staff was amazing to work with, and provided sound insight when deciding on the perfect tree for my space. I highly recommend using Garden Gate for your next tree purchase 👍😊👍
Thank you for this beautiful tree, it's a perfect fit. I am pretty sure all of our trees came from your tree nursery.
