All reviews for category Cercis

The golden Judas tree arrived in full bloom, then it made way for large leaves of a beautiful tangy green. Good growth, I am very satisfied with my choice and the quality of the young plant.

Very nice growth for this Cercis, which appears fragile but proves to be very resistant in the end. It competes with a Cercis Merlot, racing to see which one will grow the fastest. It has withstood the spring frost well, flowering just before and with the leaves emerging afterwards. This year, the megachiles are a bit more voracious and happily cut the leaves, but it doesn't prevent it from growing. Very beautiful bush.

Received on time and in very good condition, very well packaged. Very satisfied, well done!

Planted in partial shade. Despite its exposure, its leaves have a tendency to turn brown and dry out. But the young plant is holding up well.

Beautiful young plant well rooted with a somewhat twisted trunk. Magnificent bud burst period with orange leaves that turn to chartreuse green later in the season. Sensitive to spring frosts but regrows vigorously. It should be planted in partial shade to avoid sunburn during the summer in Dordogne.

Well-ramified young plant, slightly twisted despite the stake. Buds already visible. Waiting for the next typical cauliflory of this species and the magnificent foliage. Paired with a Merlot cercis for a strong contrast.

Beautiful plant, very well packaged and protected, in excellent condition. 80 cm (32in) long, which is at the top end of the promised range. Ordered and received during a heatwave period (up to +38°C (100.4°F) in mid-July in Ain) and yet no problem with establishment thanks to a good water-filled basin at the base. Also thanks to a parasol that served both against the sun and partially against the thin hail on 24.07. After having the tip slightly damaged by the hail, it has started to shoot again at the end of summer. Heat + water = a new shoot already over 20 cm (8in) long.

Here are a few years now that my lovely cercis canadensis "Forest Pansy" has been planted in my main flower bed in front of the kitchen. So I can admire it every day and I am DELIGHTED with it. Several things to say about its growing conditions and development in my garden (which seem to suit it perfectly): (1) It is in full sun, and with watering once a week during heatwaves/droughts, its foliage has held up well (has not burned at all). (2) It has rooted deeply and quickly, and it is growing rapidly. (3) I pruned the small branches at the bottom to create a multi-trunk effect through which you can see the small plants surrounding it in the flower bed where it stands, next to a red pyracantha that I train as a bush, and that I prune in the same way at the base (these small surrounding plants being mainly nandinas, carexes, mini-abelias, and heucheras (for the shadier areas), and it looks stunning. (4) Its habit is indeed wider than tall, as it is supposed to be for "basic" Judas trees. (5) Its spring flowering in violet-pink, followed by the appearance of its large, characteristic heart-shaped leaves, as well as its almost black, slightly twisted branches, make it interesting all year round in my garden, but my favorite sight is the foliage that lights up in ruby-red when the sun shines through it from behind... and I should mention that its autumnal orange/amber color is also sublime. Finally, I plan to get the splendid alternative version of "Forest Pansy," which is both narrow and weeping, in the relatively near future: cercis canadensis "Ruby Falls," for the rest of my hedge, which I was able to admire in real life on YouTube, as well as the brand new variety "Flame Thrower," not yet available in France and similar to the variety "Eternal Flame," but with a bit of a weeping habit... and if I can't wait for it to arrive in France, I will get the "Eternal Flame," which is also magnificent, in the same style (which, like the "Flame Thrower," offers 4 foliage colors at the same time on the same tree, all year round: burgundy, orange, yellow, and then lemon green...!!!). In any case, the "Flame Thrower" is going to cause a sensation when it arrives in France, and I advise you to add it quickly to your catalog (for its slightly weeping habit in addition, and its foliage may even be a bit more colorful than the "Eternal Flame"... if that's possible (!!)), because this very recent creation is just AMAZING, and I can already predict that it will have a PHENOMENAL success in France. The varieties "Carolina Sweetheart" and "Silver Lining" also seem very interesting... but unfortunately, I won't have space to welcome them in my garden, as I preferred to opt for an acer conspicuum "Red Flamingo," for its weeping habit, in addition to the pinkish aspect in spring, then green splashed with white in summer, then orange in autumn, with, in addition, the red trunk striated with white that stands out well in winter (similar to snake skin). And finally, for variegated foliage that turns pink in autumn and also loves full sun (as often, this type of variety tends to prefer partial shade), I have chosen a liquidambar styraciflua "Aurea"...

The price is high for a small bush with 2 stems and 2 leaves on it, measuring 38.8cm (15in) in height including the pot. I hope that its pruning won't hinder its growth next spring.

Beautiful young plant received in October 2020 with a lovely habit. Good establishment and very vigorous. Light flowering as expected for this variety. The colour and shape of the leaves make it a beautiful bush to acquire for one's garden!
