  • Eastern Red Bud 2-2.5″

    $279.99

    Red Bud Care

    Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full to partial sunlight for your Red Bud tree. Ensure that the soil is fertile and moist but well-draining. Plant the tree with enough space for its root system to spread comfortably.

    Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the tree’s establishment period and dry spells. Water deeply and regularly, ensuring that the root zone is thoroughly soaked. However, avoid overwatering, as Red Bud trees are susceptible to root rot.

    Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, extending out to the drip line. Mulch helps retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot and disease.
