Pollination Info:

The Sparkling Wine Redbud, a cultivar of the Eastern Redbud tree (Cercis canadensis), is a dioecious plant, meaning it produces separate male and female flowers on different trees. In order for the Sparkling Wine Redbud to set fruit and seeds, pollination must occur between a male and a female tree.

The flowers of the Sparkling Wine Redbud are insect pollinated, with bees being the primary pollinators. The flowers are attractive to bees due to their bright color and abundant nectar. Other pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds may also visit the flowers, although bees are the most effective pollinators for this tree.

It is important to have both a male and a female Sparkling Wine Redbud tree in close proximity in order to ensure successful pollination and the production of seeds. Without proper pollination, the tree may not develop fruit or seeds.
