watering
Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Tennessee Pink') should be watered every 2-3 days, depending on local weather conditions. Water thoroughly, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to become moist. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. The Eastern redbud should be watered more often in warmer climates, but less often in cooler climates. Once the plant is established, it can tolerate some periods of drought.
sunlight
Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Tennessee Pink') prefers full or partial sun, meaning it should receive about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If your eastern redbud receives too much shade, it may not flower as profusely or β even worse β fail to produce any blooms at all, so it's important to make sure your eastern redbud is in an area that receives at least a few hours of sunlight each day.
pruning
Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Tennessee Pink') should be pruned in the late winter or very early spring. Pruning should be done lightly, as the trees may lose their natural shape if they are pruned too heavily. Prune away only dead, diseased or damaged branches, or any branches that detract from the attractive shape of the tree. It is not necessary to prune away wild branches, as the natural shape of the Eastern redbud is very attractive. If necessary, only remove no more than 1/3 of the tree's canopy in any 1 season.
Season
Eastern redbud typically starts flowering in March or April.
