New Tree

[Nyboy]

This weekend big box store had 50% off all trees and shurbs. I picked up a tree I never seen before, it had no tags only a lable on pot patio tree. I really need to learn how to post photos. Tree is weeper, with heart shape leaves that are a deep red almost purple. i have never seen any tree around here that it looks like; for $25 I took a chance that its winter hardy in my zone.

I would guess a purple beech. I did not know until now that they came weeping.

How big is that heart-shaped leaf? Redbud comes to mind on heart shaped and some cultivars can be sort of purple, but weeping?

You scored big, weeping purple leaf redbuds are an expensive grafted tree.
Or it could just look weeping as the redbuds do tend to have long arching limbs when young. Still a good find.

Eta...'forest pansy' redbud

They do come in a weeping version. I LOVE redbuds anyway, but a weeping redbud...double love! Is this your tree, Nyboy?
