Hi Lucy,

Good eye! It is indeed Quercus macrocarpa. I agree – the purple leaf Cercis are beautiful. There are several newer purple foliage cultivars on the market: ‘Ruby Falls’ and ‘Merlot’ to name two.

We have a small one I treasure. It is growing quite happily here.

I’d love for you to include the lovely planting you have of cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ (?) paired with aristolochia—beautiful purple and green contrast with virtually the same leaves, but very different habit.

Thanks,

Lucy Wood
