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.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
But the best part about our Flame Thrower® Redbud is that it's made to adapt and grow well, with healthy results as soon as it arrives at your door.
Unlike other big-box retailers or chain garden centers, we don't ship bare-root. Your Flame Thrower® arrives in a pot with nutrient-rich soil, ready to plant and explode with growth once it's delivered.
The Flame Thrower® will sell out very quickly...don't wait until it's gone. Get yours today!

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.
Trees arrived and are beautiful
I got a 4’ and a 5’ delivered this weekend. They arrived in good condition. Planted them like a brain surgeon carefully in their pre-dug and soil amended holes. Keeping fingers crossed that they make it. Purchased one a year and a half ago and it’s doing beautifully… see previous review. Still intend to purchase more. The colors that it adds to the yard are phenomenal.
Beautiful upon arrival!
Tree arrived beautifully! More leaves attached than expected. It already has so much beautiful red leaves pushing out. Great packing as the tree had a bamboo stake for support and was attached with ties. Quick shipping. Ordered on Tuesday and it arrived on a Sunday via FedEx. Will definitely be ordering more. Would love to have a rising sun redbud when it comes back in stock and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a redbud tree. Thank you for a great purchase :)
Beautiful tree
My tree is 1 yr old. Live it. Neighbors live it. They have purchased as well. As soon as it comes back in stock, I’m buying 3 more. It hasn’t grown much I a year. It is still about 4 ft tall but the colors are so vibrant. I am in zone 5b (Chicago area).
Stunning tree
I couldn't be happier with the purchase of this tree. It is the most stunning tree I have ever seen. I have neighbors and and family telling me that they are going to come in the middle of the night and dig it up for themselves. I have put guard dogs in the yard now. Just joking. This is first year growth. Do get the fertilizer they recommended for initial planting. Makes a world of different in making sure it gets a good start. Bought ours in beginning of May 2023.
