Eastern Redbud – Beauty in Bloom
About the Bloom
Experience the stunning beauty of the Eastern Redbud’s bloom, showcasing vibrant clusters of pink to purple flowers that emerge in early spring. These delicate blooms create a breathtaking display against the tree’s bare branches, attracting pollinators and adding a pop of color to your garden. The Eastern Redbud’s unique flowers are a standout feature that will captivate your senses.
What to Know About the Plant
The Eastern Redbud is a deciduous tree known for its heart-shaped, green leaves that turn yellow in the fall before dropping. This ornamental tree typically grows to a height of 20-30 feet, with a spread of 25-35 feet, creating a rounded canopy that provides shade and visual interest. Its distinctive branching pattern adds architectural appeal to any landscape, making it a focal point in your garden.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Integrate the Eastern Redbud into your fruitscape to complement a variety of fruit trees, berry plants, and other ornamentals. Pair this ornamental tree with fruit trees like Cherry, Plum, and Peach to enhance its seasonal beauty with delicious harvests. Surround it with berry plants such as Blackberries and Raspberries to create a colorful and fruitful display. Tropical plants like Banana and Papaya add a touch of exotic flair, while herbs like Mint and Basil provide aromatic foliage and culinary delights. By combining the Eastern Redbud with a mix of edibles and ornamentals, you can create a dynamic and visually appealing landscape that celebrates the diversity of nature.

Elevate your garden with the Eastern Redbud and explore the beauty of nature in your own backyard.
Landscaping with Evergreen Trees
There is nothing more pleasant than the sight of a lush green tree blowing in wind. These trees will keep their leaves year round which really provide an advantage in the landscape. When there are a lot of bare deciduous tree branches in the winter, evergreen trees provide a contrast in the landscape. Evergreen trees are also great for adding year round privacy to your property. Instead of building an unsightly privacy fence, plant an evergreen tree to have a lovely living fence. Use evergreen trees in the back drop of the landscape to provide a foundation for other shrubs and bushes. Evergreen trees also make a beautiful specimen tree that will stand strong and look elegant all year round.
Recommended Fertilizers for Planting and Maintenance
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Our Evergreen Tree Varieties do well with Espoma Organic Palm-tone Fertilizer
Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Evergreen Trees, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
