Traveller Weeping Redbud is a unique and beautiful variation of the Eastern Redbud tree with a graceful, cascading growth habit with branches that spread broadly and sweep downward. The weeping form adds an elegant and eye-catching element to landscapes.
Traveller Weeping Redbud produce clusters of lavender purple flowers in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The flowers are followed by heart-shaped leaves that turn yellow in the fall. Traveller Weeping Redbud is more compact, reaching a height of around 5 feet, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as focal points in larger landscapes.
