If you are looking for a small feature tree with brilliant spring colour, Cercis chinensis Avondale could be the tree you are looking for. Avondale has an upright growth habit and features large, light-green, heart-shaped leaves that transform into a bright yellow colour during the autumn season. In early spring, the bare branches of Avondale become covered with a profusion of deep cerise-pink, pea-shaped flowers that persist for an extended period. Avondale is particularly excellent for floral and foliage display in smaller parks and gardens.
