The Bark is a rich, dark brown colour.

You need to see this plant close up, not planted too far way from view at the far end of a long vista. A seasonal attraction, it should be mixed with other plants that are at their best at other times, such as the Japanese Maple.

It will thrive in most soils, preferably hot dry rocky soils.  It is reasonably drought tolerant once established. A wonderful tree, Siliquastrum is deserving of a sunny space in the garden and recommended as a plant for pollinators , a must for the smaller garden.

The Judas tree (Cercis Siliquastrum), originated in SE Europe and West Asia. It is believed the tree was introduced to Britain in the sixteenth century.

Minimal pruning required to shape this lovely tree or to take out damaged or dead branches.  Newly planted trees benefit from a good watering especially during the first few years.  Requires sunny sheltered position

All our stock is “lifted” to order, which means that they are “lifted” and packed the same day and sent off so delivery is made the following day hence you receive them as fresh as possible. They are well packed and they are able to stay in the bags they arrive in for up to 7/10 days out of any frosts but it is advisable to plant bareroot trees as soon as possible. We are able to give you a suitable delivery date after the order has been placed when we email your order of acknowledgement to you. Unlike other nurseries who usually say within 3-5 days we can give you a definite day.

As soon as we receive your order we can usually send these out within the week. We use a courier and a signature will be required UNLESS you inform us (in the comments box) of where you would like your goods left safely should you not be at home. It is possible to select a day (apart from week-ends and Fridays) when ordering.
