Summer’s Tower™ Redbud — 15 Gallon
(Cercis canadensis ‘JN2’ Summer’s Tower™)
Tree Description
The Summer’s Tower™ Redbud is a unique ornamental tree known for its narrow upright growth habit and vibrant spring flowers. In early spring, the branches become covered with brilliant pink-purple blossoms, creating a beautiful display before the leaves emerge.
Unlike traditional redbuds that spread wide, Summer’s Tower grows in a columnar, vertical form, making it an excellent choice for smaller yards, tighter spaces, and landscape accents where a narrower tree is desired. After flowering, the tree develops lush heart-shaped green leaves that provide a soft, ornamental canopy throughout the growing season.
These 15-gallon trees establish quickly and grow into an elegant ornamental feature, offering the beauty of a redbud in a more space-efficient form.
