Red Rocket? is a delightful small tree for every season, with new red foliage for spring, huge clusters of cherry-red blossoms for summer, and more blooms plus bright orange foliage for fall! When this tree leafs out in spring, the new leaves are an eye-catching crimson before turning green for summer. The blooms arise in early summer, erupting from fat round buds into giant 8-inch clusters crammed with attention-getting red color.
It has an elegant multistemmed vase shape, or may be trained to one trunk. Thriving in any well-drained soil — even the poor ones of urban areas — it asks only for adequate drainage and frequent watering during dry periods. Drought won’t kill this tree, but it does reduce flowering for the season. It blooms on new wood, but you needn’t prune it back unless it becomes too large for your garden. Easy and very low maintenance!
