| Botanical Name | Cercis canadensis 'Traveller' |
| Description | The 'Traveller' Redbud is a unique, prostrate-growing cultivar that brings dramatic architectural interest to the Houston and Willis area. This 15-gallon (15G) specimen is prized for its strongly weeping habit, with branches that cascade downward in a graceful "waterfall" effect. In early spring, the bare stems are smothered in tiny, nectar-rich lavender-pink flowers before the foliage emerges. The leaves are leathery, glossy, and heart-shaped, maintaining a rich green color throughout the Texas summer. Its compact size makes it an elite choice for small residential gardens, rock gardens, or as a specimen near entryways. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 5-6' Height x 5-10' Width |
| Water | Moderate; requires well-drained soil. While adaptable, it prefers consistent moisture and does not tolerate prolonged standing water. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as the flower buds begin to swell. |
| Pruning | Minimal; prune after flowering only to remove dead wood or to maintain the cascading shape by thinning out overlapping branches. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
