Cercis chinensis Avondale

Cercis chinensis Avondale is a compact deciduous tree renowned for its profuse display of vibrant magenta-pink, pea-like flowers that bloom in early spring, covering bare branches before the glossy, heart-shaped green leaves emerge. In autumn, the foliage turns golden-yellow, adding seasonal charm. Growing to around 3–4 meters tall and wide, it’s perfect for small gardens, courtyards, or as a striking feature tree.

To grow Avondale, plant it in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil. It thrives in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane climates, preferring protection from strong winds. Water regularly during establishment and mulch to retain soil moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage vigorous growth. With its compact form, vibrant blooms, and low-maintenance care, Avondale is an excellent choice for creating year-round interest in gardens.
