The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The early red bloom makes a clear focal point before most trees leaf out. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It grows at a useful pace without quickly overwhelming a normal residential bed. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on light structural pruning while young, then mostly cleanup and occasional shaping. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this tree alone, though young plants can be browsed or rubbed where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It fits many home landscapes, but the spreading form still needs room to develop. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a flowering accent tree, not a plant for blocking views. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for a visible front-yard or patio-area planting where spring color matters and there is room for the canopy to spread naturally.

Customers Usually Ask
Is the flower really red?
Yes, it is deeper and redder than a standard redbud bloom.
Will it work near the house?
Yes, if you give the canopy room and avoid tight foundation spots.
Does it need full sun?
It performs best with good light, but it can handle some shade.
