Redbud in spring bloomRedbud in spring bloomRuby Falls packs two showstoppers into one small tree: it weeps, and it wears ruby-purple leaves. Bred at NC State from a weeping redbud crossed with Forest Pansy, it cascades like a living fountain to about 6 to 8 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide. Spring drapes every falling branch in lavender-magenta bloom, then the heart-shaped leaves emerge glossy ruby-red and mature to deep maroon-purple. It is small enough for a courtyard, an entry bed, or a big pot flanking a door, and like every redbud it takes our clay and part shade. If you have one special spot that deserves one special tree, this is the one people cannot walk past.
Off-the-lot means you pick it up and plant it yourself. Planted means we deliver it, plant it right, and back it with our Year One warranty. Tap a price to add it to your list, then send the whole list to Matt in one request. Want several of one tree, or a mix? Add them all and Matt quotes the count.
What does "gallon" mean? It is the size of the container the tree is growing in, not how many trees you get. The bigger the number, the bigger and more established the tree you take home, so a 30 gallon tree gives you shade and privacy years sooner than a 15 gallon one.
Full warranty for one year after planting. This comes with any needed care and free check ups upon request. All needed treatments or pruning are included for first year. If tree fails to thrive, no cost replacement.
Picked, delivered, and planted by a Board Certified Master Arborist.
Follow-up visits through the whole first year, not a wave goodbye.
Deep root feeding and structural pruning while it takes hold.
That is the warranty. No fine print, no chasing us down.
Pick a spot with full sun to part shade. This one stays under 20 feet, so it fits close: 8 to 10 feet from the house, a patio, or a fence line. Heavy Missouri clay is not a problem for this tree. Growth rate is medium, so you know what to expect season to season.
Not sure about your spot? Send us a photo of the yard with your quote request and we will tell you straight if it will work.
Water deeply once or twice a week through the first growing season, and step it up in July and August heat. Keep a 2 to 3 inch mulch ring around the base, pulled back from the trunk. Spring and fall are both good planting windows in mid-Missouri.
Or skip the checklist: have us plant it and Year One covers all of this. We feed it, prune it, and come back to check on it.
Request a quote and tell us where it is going. We will confirm availability, delivery, and a planting date.
Straight answers to what people ask before they buy. Anything else, just call.
Small on purpose: about 6 to 8 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, with branches that cascade to the ground. It is the redbud for spots where every other tree is too big, and it even works long-term in a large container.
Same waterfall shape, opposite colors. Ruby Falls weeps in dark ruby-purple foliage. Golden Falls weeps in bright chartreuse-gold and grows a bit taller and narrower. Dark and moody, take Ruby. Bright and glowing, take Golden. Flanking a gate with one of each is a look.
The leaves open glossy ruby-red and hold a deep purple into summer, strongest with morning sun. In our hottest stretches the oldest leaves soften toward green-purple, and fresh new tips keep bringing the ruby back.
Yes. Every tree on the lot has an off-the-lot price, you pick it up and plant it yourself. The planted price adds delivery, planting, and the Year One warranty.
Every planted tree comes with follow-up visits, deep root feeding, and structural pruning through its first year. If the tree fails in Year One, we make it right. You can extend it to Year Two for 20 percent and Year Three for 15 percent of the planted price.
Spring and fall are both good windows. Fall planting gives the roots time to settle in before summer heat. Request a quote and we will work out timing with you.
Yes. The whole lot is open to trade buyers. Ask about volume pricing when you reach out.
Tell us the spot and the job. A Board Certified Master Arborist picks with you, plants it right, and stands behind it for Year One.
