Revitalize your patio with the stunning 'Avondale' redbud tree, known for its vibrant magenta blooms in spring.
Reaching just 1.5 metres with yearly pruning, it's ideal for adding a splash of colour to an entrance or balcony.
This low-maintenance tree showcases charming, heart-shaped leaves that emerge purplish before turning green.
Recognized with the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Avondale' is proven to thrive in British gardens.

Species: Redbud
Features: Easy to grow, Fully hardy, RHS Award of Garden Merit, Fantastic foliage
Flowering Season: Early spring, Late spring
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Flower Colour: Magenta pink blossoms arrive in spring.
Foliage Colour: Green, Purple
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Your patio redbud tree will appreciate being planted in moist, well-drained compost like John Innes No. 3.
Hardiness: H5 - Cold hardy down to temperatures of -15°C.
Habit: A clear-stemmed patio tree with a vase-shaped head of foliage and flowers.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 0.5-1m when maintained with pruning.

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Spacing: Plant one metre apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Redbud trees grown in containers will require more watering than those grown in the ground, with watering being especially important in hot, dry spells.
Feeding: Feed your tree with a general-purpose, balanced fertiliser every spring to give it a kickstart for the growing season ahead.
Pruning: Give your patio redbud tree a light prune in winter, trimming any branches that are becoming too long or overly congested. This will help keep that lovely patio shape.
Pest & Disease: Generally good resistance, but watch out for scale insects and infections such as coral spot. To prevent coral spot and similar diseases, always prune in dry weather. When pruning, cut branches through the collar (ring of slight swelling found at the base of branches). Healing of wounds occurs most quickly here. If die-back occurs after pruning, remove dead material to avoid further infection. Scale insects suck the sap from plants and look like shell-like bumps on the stems and undersides of leaves - check your tree frequently from spring onwards. Light infestations are harmless, but for larger populations, you can remove them by hand or encourage predators like ladybirds, parasitoid wasps and birds.
