Golden Falls® Redbud Treebute Tree

A cascading tribute with color that catches the light in every season.

The Golden Falls® Redbud is a graceful, weeping variety whose branches cascade gently to the ground, offering a striking sense of movement even when still. In early spring, lavender-pink blooms cover the bare branches, followed by heart-shaped leaves that emerge tinged with orange before turning a bright, glowing gold.

Each Treebute is a complete memorial tree kit designed to be planted at home, a hands-on ritual that many people find grounding and healing.

The act of planting gives your hands something purposeful to do and creates meaning, forming a living connection that continues to grow.

Why You'll Love the Golden Falls® Redbud Tree

  • A graceful, weeping form: cascading branches give this tree a sense of movement and softness that few other varieties offer.
  • Color that holds through summer: golden foliage resists fading in sun and heat, gradually softening to lime green as the season goes on.
  • Striking spring blooms: lavender-pink flowers cover the bare branches before the leaves emerge.


A Living Memorial That Grows With You

Finding a meaningful way to honor someone you love can feel overwhelming. A Treebute tree offers something different, a living expression of love that grows stronger each year. It gives your hands something to do and your heart something to hold.

The act of planting creates meaning. The growth creates hope. The tree creates a place to remember.

Nurturing Your Memorial Tribute

Even if you're new to planting, the Golden Falls® Redbud is low-maintenance and forgiving, rewarding simple care with color that lasts through summer.

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade. Full sun brings out the brightest gold in its foliage.

  • Water: Keep soil evenly moist, especially while your tree is establishing. It's sensitive to wet feet, so avoid soil that stays soggy or poorly drained.

  • Space: Plan for a mature size of about 8 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, a narrow footprint well-suited to smaller spaces.

This tree does best with minimal pruning; letting its branches weep naturally toward the ground is part of its charm. Only remove stray or dead branches as needed.

Optional: Plant with Cremation Ashes - The Treebute® Difference

For those wishing to incorporate cremation ashes, your kit includes the option to add our Treebute® organic soil blend. This specially formulated mixture creates a safe, nurturing foundation for your tree - transforming ashes into living growth.

Your tree is meaningful with or without ashes - this is simply another way to honor someone you love.

What if they're not ready to plant right away?

The kit includes simple instructions to care for your tree until planting time. Many customers plant on a significant date, a birthday, an anniversary, or another day that feels right.

Is this a good sympathy gift to send someone?

Yes. A living tree is a meaningful alternative to flowers that fade. It arrives ready to plant with a personalized message, so the recipient receives a tribute they can hold, plant, and watch grow. It is a thoughtful way to turn sympathy into something lasting.

How and when does it ship?

Your kit ships ready to plant, usually within 2-4. One thoughtfully packaged kit, everything arrives together, ready to plant.

What if they are not ready to plant right away?

That is completely okay. Your kit includes simple instructions for keeping your tree healthy until planting time. Many families choose to plant on a meaningful date, such as a birthday, an anniversary, or another day that matters to them.

Is this easy to care for? We are not experienced gardeners.

Yes. The Golden Falls redbud is a hardy, forgiving tree that needs little more than the right light and watering when the soil feels dry. It requires very little pruning, and every kit arrives with a clear, step by step guide. Many people find the simple routine of caring for their tree becomes a comforting ritual.

Can I plant a memorial tree with cremation ashes?

Yes. Treebute Kits offer the option to add Treebute® organic soil blend specially formulated to safely mix with cremation ashes and help create a nurturing foundation for tree growth.

Can I plant ashes without any special soil treatment?

We strongly advise against it and doing so will void the Warranty. Planting cremation ashes directly with a tree, without proper treatment, can stress or even kill the plant. The high sodium and pH levels create conditions that are hostile to root development. If you want your memorial tree to thrive for years to come, using the Treebute Organic Soil Blend is essential when incorporating ashes.

What makes Treebute different from other memorial tree options?

Treebute is designed to be planted at home, in your own yard, patio, or indoor space. Unlike distant memorial forests where a tree is planted somewhere you may never visit, a Treebute grows right where you can see it. It becomes a gentle, living presence in your daily life.

Every kit includes a healthy tree of your choice, clear planting and care instructions, and the option to add scientifically formulated soil for safe ash incorporation. And our team understands that every memorial is deeply personal.

How is this different from having a tree planted in a forest?

Forest donation programs plant something far away and send a card. A Treebute Kit delivers a real, living plant to your door, or to your recipient's door, so it can be planted and tended at home and seen every day. It becomes part of daily life, not a distant certificate.
