Cercis canadensis 'Ruby Falls'
Choose Ruby Falls Redbud if you want a small weeping focal tree with purple foliage and pink spring bloom; the tradeoff is slow growth and little screening value.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The weeping shape, spring flowers, and dark foliage give it strong presence in a small area. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It develops slowly, so buy it for form and color rather than quick size. |
| Maintenance | B | It needs some early shaping and steady watering while establishing, but routine care is manageable. |
| 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 | A | Its compact weeping habit works well where a full-sized ornamental tree would crowd the space. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a specimen tree, not a plant for blocking views or creating privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Ruby Falls Redbud as a featured plant near a walk, patio, or entry, not as a background tree.
| Mature Height | 7 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 5.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 7 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Weeping, cascading |
The foliage holds dark purple tones best with good sun, then can soften as the season moves on.
Yes, but heavier shade usually means less color and a looser look.
Light shaping is helpful when young; avoid hard pruning unless correcting structure.

Plant looked great upon delivery, larger than I thought it would be
Chris and associates in the field were informative and professional in directing me through the extensive nursery inventory. I will tell friends about my experience and be back in the future.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
