Planting & Care

To grow Giant Redbud from seed, scarify the seeds by nicking the hard outer coat with a file or sandpaper, then soak in water for 24 hours. Cold stratify the seeds in a moist medium in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks before sowing. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix, keep consistently moist, and provide warmth and bright light. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient.

Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or a nursery bed. Choose a permanent location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Water regularly during the first few years to help the tree establish a deep root system. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.
