Why Choose Cercis (Judas Trees) for Your Garden?

Cercis—commonly known as Judas trees—are admired for their heart-shaped leaves and profuse, showy flowers that emerge in early spring before the foliage appears. As versatile, easy-care small trees, they’re perfect for New Zealand gardens seeking a splash of colour and texture. Judas trees are suitable as specimen trees, focal points in perennial borders, or even in smaller urban gardens where visual interest is desired year-round.

Popular Varieties Available from Judas Tree Stockists

When choosing Cercis for your garden, it’s important to select a variety that suits your space and colour preferences. At leading Judas tree stockists, you’ll typically find these exceptional varieties:

• Cercis chinensis Avondale (Chinese Redbud): Celebrated for its abundance of deep purple-pink blooms, this Chinese Redbud offers a compact, vase-shaped habit—ideal for smaller gardens or as a striking courtyard feature.
• Cercis canadensis Forest Pansy (Eastern Redbud): With rich burgundy-purple foliage and light pink flowers, Forest Pansy provides bold contrast and year-round interest.
• Cercis canadensis Hearts of Gold (Redbud): Renowned for its remarkable golden-yellow leaves and rosy pink spring flowers, this cultivar brings a golden glow to any planting scheme.

• Cercis canadensis Texas White: Perfect for those who love something unique, Texas White displays pure white blossoms and lush green foliage as a refreshing alternative to classic pinks and purples.

How to Select the Right Judas Tree for Your Landscape

Judas tree stockists can advise on the best Cercis variety for your microclimate and design goals. When selecting a tree, consider:

• Mature size and growth habit (upright, bushy, or weeping forms)
• Foliage colour and seasonal interest
• Flower colour and quantity
• Cold and drought tolerance

Cercis trees generally prefer free-draining soil and a sunny to partly shaded position. Their manageable size and stunning seasonal changes make them ideal for accent planting, underplanting with bulbs, or as a statement tree in lawns and courtyards.
