In Summer it has 4 colors at once on any given branch. The newest growth is deep red fading to orange, to yellow, and then to green on the oldest growth adding a rainbow of color on the tree. 'Flame Thrower' has only been on the market for a few years, so is not a common tree as of yet. Many nurseries however are beginning to offer this plant, as many wholesalers are now growing and selling them. Just like the standard Redbud it gets the same outstanding reddish/purple flowers coating the branches in Spring before foliage emerges. 'Flame Thower' matures to 15'-20' tall and wide. Its maturity is comparable to the regular species. While Redbud is shade tolerant, 'Flame Thower' is not. Unlike other variegated plants 'Flame Thrower' will not burn in full sun. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9
