Fall Color in the Summer
Why Flame Thrower® Redbud Trees?
Delivering rich fall color when most other varieties are plain green, the Flame Thrower® Redbud has all the great attributes of the Redbud...just in a bold new hue for your landscape.
Heart-shaped foliage emerges in a strong burgundy red that turns yellow, then green as it matures. As each leaf grows, you'll see a beautiful blend of multiple colors on every branch, setting your garden alight and giving you the best yard on the block.
In early spring, each branch of your Flame Thrower® welcomes the season with lovely reddish-purple flowers. That means you get color from month to month with your Flame Thrower®, with unbelievable elegance in spring and warm autumnal tones in summer.

Tree is lovely and beautiful.
Arrived safely, but was less developed than I expected. For the price, it is less hardy than I expected, but after I planted it a couple of weeks last leaves began to develop.

So far so good. Tree looks good and healthy.
Pride and Joy
I bought this flame thrower tree in Feb 2024 and planted it in the ground a month later. I was a little nervous about it blooming because it was just a bare stick when I planted it. The big, colorful leaves grew pretty quickly as soon as the weather warmed up (I live in Virginia in Zone 7). The Fall season is my favorite time of year and I love the changing of the leaves. Now, I get to see the beautiful Fall colors for 9 months on my flame thrower tree. This little tree has become my Pride and Joy. I receive so many compliments on it. I'm going to order another one for my back yard.
Frame Thrower Redbud
My Redbud turned out to be a weeper. It is absolutely stunning, but I'm unsure on how to prune it.
Purchased this tree for friends
Purchased this tree for friends (that just lost a loved one) because of the heart shaped leaves and beautiful colors. When it arrived the box was damaged as was the tree. Contacted FGT and the company sent out a new one immediately. The new tree arrived in a well cared for box and the tree looked great too. Delivered it to our friends, they planted it and say it is doing well. Thank you FGT for your care and action. Will be ordering from you again.
