This unique variety is known for its distinctive zig-zagging branches, which form a bold and graphic silhouette. The sharp, angular lines of Cercis Zig Zag create year-round interest, with their dynamic structure standing out even in winter. By early spring (March/April), the bare branches are transformed as they burst into clusters of small, pea-like pink flowers, offering a stunning display and attracting early pollinators like bees with their abundant nectar and pollen. After flowering, heart-shaped leaves emerge, providing further visual appeal. As autumn arrives, the foliage turns vibrant shades of orange, while the signature zig-zag pattern of the branches remains visible. This small, slow-growing tree is perfect for small to medium gardens, offering continuous visual interest throughout the seasons. Maximum height: 6m (20ft). Maximum spread: 7.6m (25ft). As plant height and spread vary with the seasons, we list plants by pot size rather than a fixed height, so the exact size of the tree upon arrival may differ depending on the time of year. A unique variety, each branch has a distinctive zig-zag pattern, creating a strikingly graphic silhouette. Grow Cercis chinensis in rich fertile, moist, well drained soil. Choose a sheltered position in full sun. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Plant Eastern Redbud trees at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
