Don Egolf Chinese Redbud (Cercis chinensis 'Don Egolf')

Don Egolf Chinese Redbud is a compact flowering tree that delivers a concentrated spring bloom show without demanding a lot of space. In early spring, the branches fill with rich pink to magenta flowers, giving you a bold burst of color before the leaves emerge. As the season moves on, tidy, heart-shaped green foliage forms a dense canopy that looks clean and well-kept in beds, courtyards, and near patios. It is a reliable way to add seasonal drama and a refined silhouette in landscapes where a larger tree would feel out of scale.

Distinctive Features

This Chinese redbud is valued for heavy flowering and a naturally rounded, compact habit that stays neat with minimal shaping. It typically matures around 8 to 10 feet tall with a similar spread, making it an excellent small ornamental tree or large shrub for tight spaces. The flowers appear along stems and branches in spring, then the foliage provides a polished green canopy through summer, giving you both a standout seasonal moment and a steady structure afterward.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with more sun supporting the strongest flowering.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil is essential, and it performs best in soils that do not stay wet.
  • Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide moderate moisture during dry periods.
  • USDA Zones: Zones 6 to 9.
  • Deer: Not reliably deer resistant, so protect young plants if browsing is an issue.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a focal point near an entry, patio, or main garden view where the compact form and spring blooms can be enjoyed up close.
  • Small Space Specimen: Delivers the presence of a flowering tree in tight beds and smaller landscapes.
  • Foundation Accent: Adds spring color and a rounded canopy that softens corners and hard lines.
  • Courtyard Planting: Fits enclosed spaces where scale and a tidy habit matter.
  • Mixed Border Anchor: Provides height and seasonal interest above perennials and low shrubs without crowding.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Planting: Choose a sheltered site with good drainage and allow space for the canopy to develop naturally.
  • Mulching: Maintain a mulch ring to conserve moisture and protect roots, keeping mulch off the stems.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to remove dead wood and refine shape, avoiding heavy cuts.
  • Watering: Deep water during the first growing season and during drought to support bloom and leaf quality.
  • Feeding: Use a light, balanced feeding in spring only if growth is weak, since excessive feeding can reduce flowering.

Why Choose Don Egolf Chinese Redbud?

  • Compact Habit: Stays small and rounded, making placement easy in residential landscapes.
  • Heavy Bloom: Produces a dense spring flower display for strong early-season color.
  • Polished Look: Neat canopy and clean foliage keep it looking intentional through summer.
  • Versatile Placement: Works as a specimen, foundation accent, or courtyard tree without taking over the space.
  • Low Fuss Care: Delivers major seasonal impact with straightforward maintenance.

If you want a redbud-style bloom show in a compact package, Don Egolf Chinese Redbud is a strong choice. It brings a vivid spring moment, then settles into a tidy green canopy that supports the rest of your planting design with minimal effort.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.
