Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 335) Cercis canadensis

Here is another Arbor Day Foundation tree that I potted up over fifteen years ago. It has grown into a ten-foot tree with attractive leaves and good autumn foliage color. However, it has yet to bloom in its patio pot home.

My future plans for this tree are to root prune it and replace some of the soil while pruning the top. It has been tough to keep this tree watered adequately in the summers, but I think a soil refresh will help with that.
