| Description | Cercis canadensis 'Merlot'
With stunning, deep rich purple foliage in the summer the 'Merlot' Redbud makes for a stunning feature tree in the garden. In the spring, lavender pink blooms cover the bare branches and in the autumn the leaves turn vibrant oranges and yellows before falling. The 'Merlot' Redbud is perfect for small backyards.
20"/50cm pot

70 Litre Pot | Prunus yedoensis x subhirtella 'Snofozam'
Hands down the most popular feature tree, the Weeping Cherry tree! And it's no wonder why, with little maintenance and year round interest it's a definite crowd pleaser.
• The most narrow of weeping cherries, Falling Snow's branches hang directly down
• Covered in little white blossoms in the spring, green foliage in summer changing to an awesome display of autumn colour
• Grows in most soils, disliking heavy clay and soggy soils
