Redbud finally thriving — the one thing that changed everything

I nearly gave up on Redbud after three months of mediocre results. Then I focused properly on watering deeply and regularly in the first two growing seasons and within a few weeks the difference was dramatic.

It now lives in a boundary or avenue planting in a larger space and has genuinely transformed that spot. exceptional seasonal spectacle from blossom through autumn colour is even more impressive in person than I expected from photos. full canopy providing shade and habitat in summer was spectacular — worth every bit of patience. If you're struggling with yours, watering deeply and regularly in the first two growing seasons is almost certainly the issue.
