| Botanical Name | Cercis canadensis 'NC2015-12' |
| Description | Golden Falls® is the first weeping gold-leafed redbud, making it a spectacular focal point for the Houston metro area. It is specifically bred to handle the intense Texas sun without the leaf scorch often seen in other gold varieties. It adapts well to our heavy clay soils and high humidity. Its narrow, cascading habit is ideal for small gardens or entryways, beginning the spring with lavender-pink flowers before the brilliant yellow-gold heart-shaped leaves emerge. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade; in Houston, morning sun with filtered afternoon shade will produce the best golden color without stress. |
| Height x Width | 8-10' Height x 3-4' Width |
| Water | Medium; requires consistent moisture, especially during the establishment phase in clay soil. Do not allow to completely dry out during Houston summers. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring before the spring bloom begins. |
| Pruning | Minimal; only prune to remove dead wood or to maintain the desired height of the weeping "fountain" effect. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
