Stunning Redbud with Deep Purple Foliage
Why Merlot Redbud Trees?
Merging everything you love in a Redbud into a slightly smaller form, the Merlot is a phenomenal hybrid that delivers classic blooms with the twist of lustrous purple leaves that gradually fade to green in the summer.
You’ll also get new features that will make this tree even more desirable, like excellent drought tolerance and glossier leaves that stand up to summer heat with ease.
Vibrant red-purple leaves mean the Merlot lives up to its name. The most exciting feature of the new Merlot Redbud is the outstanding color of the foliage. First, you get its reddish-pink blossoms...then the reward of the Merlot's deep, dark purple leaves that continue to impress as they fade into deep green. Whether you plant this tree alone or amongst others in your garden, it takes your yard to the next level.

Love My New Trees
The trees arrived in great shape and I've planted them in front of my barn. They are going to look great and also provide much-needed shade.
Merlot Redbud
So far so good! It was delivered healthy and soil still damp less than a week ago. It's been planted and watered; we'll continue to water but nothing else to do but wait.
