The tree that follows is quite different in character: broad heart-shaped leaves on a low, wide, layered frame that turns soft yellow in autumn. It is a small understorey tree by nature, so it is one of the few deciduous flowering trees genuinely happy in dappled light rather than needing an open sunny position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Eastern Redbud\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCauliflory\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flowers emerge directly from old branches and trunk as well as young twigs, an unusual effect for a temperate tree.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Broad, clean heart-shaped foliage gives a distinctive silhouette all summer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e: At 4 to 6m it fits comfortably in a courtyard or small suburban garden.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Shade Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: It still flowers respectably under high canopy, where most blossom trees will not.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayered Branching\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal tiers of growth give the tree structure and interest through winter.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourtyard specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: A compact feature tree for a small paved or gravelled space.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoodland edge planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sited at the margin of established trees, mimicking its natural understorey habit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall garden focal point\u003c\/strong\u003e: One tree carries an entire front garden through late winter and spring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed shrub border\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides height and early colour above hellebores, bulbs and shade perennials.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m for an informal grouping\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter to very early spring while dormant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, moist, well drained loam, tolerant of a range of pH, will not accept waterlogged or compacted ground\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redbuds resent root disturbance, so plant once, plant properly and leave them alone rather than relocating later.
