Questions & Answers
Redbuds are considered not particularly appealing to deer. However, a hungry deer will eat almost anything.
he Forest Pansy Redbud has a rapid growth rate. At maturity, you could expect it to be between 20-30 ft tall, with a 15-20 ft spread. Though they do best in light, rich soil, Forest Pansy's will adapt to any soil (clay, sand, alkaline etc.).
This is the first year for blooms has a few pods on it,but not as Mary as a red bud hope that helps you
That's a great answer, they could be considered both colors. The most outstanding feature I find about the Forest Pansy is the season long maroon colored leaves, and the shape just perfect in a border or a lawn specimen. You can't go wrong with this redbud.
I live in Oakley, Calif.. I purchased my forest-pansy-redbud about 2 years ago and it is growing well on sandy soil and hot weather. I water, feed, mulch, and use my coffee grounds often. It is a beautiful tree and Starbros delivers well as I could not find this tree locally.
Forest Pansy does attract birds as a place to land on. My yard has 2 Forest Pansies, a Purple Plum tree, an Oklahoma Redbud and an American Redbud. Birds fly and land on all the trees and then go to several bird feeders and watering places I have placed. Of course, after seeing that there is no feral cat below. I highly recommend the Forest Pansy Redbud.
Hi Kay, I found several sources that say deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone.
Currently trees are dormant and will not have leaves.
Yes they can be pruned to keep smaller.

I’ve wanted one for a long time. This one is smaller in size than the native, so this is my choice. An affordable. I also read many of the reviews. Plus I love color of leaves. Also glad someone…
