Cercis Siliquastrum Garden Trees

Cercis siliquastrum (Judas Tree)

A captivating tall tree, Cercis siliquastrum also called the Judas tree, is awash with clusters of rosy pink flowers on bare pale pink stems in spring which also flower directly from the rough greyish bark. Look closely and you’ll see the leaves are pealike (it’s related to the pea family,) a family heritage confirmed by decorative flat purple pea pods that arrive in August. Appealing lightly bronzed leaves unfurl after the flowers that darken to grey-green as the season progresses. Also known as the love and redbud tree, on a more historical note folklore suggests the Judas tree is so named for Judas Iscariot who after betraying Jesus hung himself from one of the species.

Cercis siliquastrum

Happy and hardy in any decent, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Drought-resistant, mostly trouble-free and low-maintenance, a Judas tree is better suited to larger spaces and offers forage and shelter in wildlife-friendly country, suburban, and exposed gardens. Tougher than the flowers suggest, it can cope with all aspects including North, East, West and South-facing plots. 8-12m x 8m

Plant our young potted plants at anytime, best in full sun or in any decent, moist well-drained soil. Avoid planting when the ground is excessively wet or frozen. Remember, trees normally reach their ultimate height and spread within 20-50 years depending on species so give it ample growing room.

An upright spreading flowering tree that needs little pruning. Trim lightly in February or March if needed, removing any unwanted crossed branches or dead, damaged and diseased stems.
