Potted redbuds dry out faster and may require daily checking in peak summer heat.

When and how should you prune a Redbud tree?
Prune trees in late spring or early summer, immediately after flowering concludes. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a clean canopy structure. Avoid heavy winter pruning, as this removes next season’s flower buds.
