Stunning, whether in bloom at the very beginning of spring or just with the sun shining through the translucent leaves. Very bright. The tree received and planted this spring had the perfect shape.

Description
Cercis canadensis 'Heart of Gold', is a variety of Judas tree that is truly unique. From spring to autumn, it amazes at every stage of its growth. In spring, the fresh pink to purple of its flowering announces spring by covering the still naked branches. Then, throughout the season, its heart-shaped foliage displays successively red, then golden yellow, and finally chartreuse colors in summer. In winter, the fallen leaves reveal its twisted branches under a dark bark.
Cercis canadensis 'Heart of Gold' belongs to the family Fabaceae or Papilionaceae. The type species is native to the eastern and central United States. It grows quite slowly and its mature size will not exceed 4.50 m (14 to 10 ft) in height and width. It is a small tree with a rounded habit, as wide as it is tall. The flowers appear before the leaves, in March-April, directly on the branches, even those that are only one year old. They are pea-like flowers, lavender-pink to purple, in a very fresh shade. The fruits, in the form of flattened pods, are rarely present on this variety. The foliage emerges red, then intensively turns golden yellow, and with maturity changes to chartreuse green in summer, with shaded leaves being more distinctly green. They are heart-shaped, rounded, quite thick, and glabrous. The branches of old specimens branch towards the ground. Its bark is dark in color.
This Canadian redbud or Judas tree has a fairly wide cultural ecology, it accepts any type of soil as long as it is deep and not too dry. It can be planted individually or used to shade a mass of heathers, camellias, and pieris in acidic soil. In neutral or limestone, well-drained soil, for example, use it in a mixed hedge, accompanied by Montpellier maple, smoke tree, and winged spindle tree to create a dazzling grove from September to November.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
