Traveller Weeping Redbud Tree – 7 Gallon Pot

Other Names:  Traveler Weeping Redbud (misspelling)

Discovered as a chance seedling in the great state of Texas, ‘Traveller’ is a mounding and distinctive weeping Redbud variety with zig-zag branches that cascade to the ground like a waterfall. The result is very interesting shapes and forms reaching 5 to 6 feet tall and 5 to 10 feet wide with no two specimens looking identical. In early spring the bare  branches and stems are covered in clusters of fuchsia-pink, sweet pea-like flowers that are followed by attractive red seed pods through summer. Immediately following the bloom the heart-shape leaves emerge a coppery color transitioning to thick, leathery, glossy, rich green leaves that literally clothe the entire tree. The thick leaves are more heat, humidity and drought resistant than other redbud varieties. Fall foliage color is usually a mix of yellow and orange to copper shades. A very easy-to-grow North American native that thrives in almost any well-drained soil, Traveller is a wonderful specimen for a small space garden, home foundation planting, sunny or partially shaded woodland borders or even in large containers. You might be happy to know that the deer turn their nose up to this one.
