Cercis canadensis var. texensis ‘Oklahoma’ is a small, deciduous, flowering tree featuring bright, wine-red spring blossoms and glossy, heart-shaped leaves. It can be a small tree or multi-trunked shrub with a dense, rounded, or vase-shaped crown. It features a deliquescent branching habit with a short main trunk that divides into many lateral branches, rather than an excurrent (single straight central leader) form. Use as a small specimen or street tree. Ideal for narrow urban spaces due to its small size and non-invasive roots. It thrives beneath taller canopy trees in woodland gardens. Full sun is best, but it will tolerate partial shade. Too much shade promotes sparse flowering and leggy growth. Low to medium water use; requires regular water to establish, but drought-tolerant once mature. It prefers well-draining, moderately fertile to calcareous soils. Avoid wet, poorly drained clay. Deer-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to -20°F.
