This unique ‘Redbud’ has a pronounced pendulous, multi-branching nature making it the finest weeping Cercis available. ‘Golden Falls’ is architecturally interesting in winter, and erupts into spring with heart-shaped, golden-green leaves followed by pretty pink pea-like flowers attractive to bees and butterflies. The eventual shape is a natural very tight columnar form. A small tree for gardens large or small or used to line an avenue or drive.
