Description

A magnificent flowering tree that deserves a spot in every landscape where it will grow, the Flamethrower Redbud is one of those trees that the minute you see it you just have to have one. As with other redbuds, this one begins the season in late winter with its stems smothered in bright purple sweet pea-like flowers. As the flower show comes to a close the even more spectacular foliage show begins. The heart-shaped leaves emerge burgundy-red quickly turning to red, orange, yellow and then lime green. What’s truly stunning is how all these colors are present on the tree at the same time during spring! With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the foliage turns to yellow. At 15 to 20 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet wide, Flamethrower is a perfect fit for both small or large landscapes.

Note: Young trees in containers may be branched lower to the ground. As the tree grows taller lower branches can be removed to expose more trunk.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing upright with an irregular rounded rounded form 15 to 20 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet wide, the Flamethrower Redbud is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in sunny or shady landscape or woodland borders. Also nice to frame the corners of homes and to provide beauty around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to red theme gardens, native gardens, woodland gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 20 feet or more for space between trees

Growing Preferences

The Flamethrower Redbud tree is easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil and full sun or shade. It is very drought tolerant when established. Standing water or constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic so make sure to plant in a site with well draining soil!

I’ve been wanting one of these trees for years, but it’s hard to find and they are quite pricey. I found one finally at Wilsonbros garden and I can’t be happier. This is not the first time I purchased from them, so I knew that the quality will be superior to many other places. My beautiful tree came in a few days ago and I’m in love with it! It’s a very healthy and nice shaped tree. It came packaged very nicely, so there was no damage. I also have to give a shout out to the delivery company, because the delivery person was so careful with the package when dropping it off, you don’t see that very often! So thank you for everyone who was involved getting this gorgeous Flamethrower Redbud to my house!————————————————-Awesome! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
