Description

Cercis canadensis Ace of Spades® is an attractive deciduous tree known for its striking red foliage and heart-shaped leaves, typically reaching an approximate height and spread of 4 meters. In spring, before its leaves emerge, it produces clusters of small rosy-pink flowers that add interest to its bare branches. In autumn, its leaves transition from red-purple to an attractive shade of bronze.

'Ace of Spades' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. This hardy and low-maintenance tree is an excellent choice for garden borders, small gardens, or as a striking specimen plant. Its compact size and colorful foliage provide year-round interest and add a splash of color to any landscape.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
