Cercis can. 'Merlot' - Redbud red maple In late spring to earlyMerlot does best in full sun to partial shade and will grow in any type of soil if it is well drained. This variety grows 9 to 12 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide. It has a low canopy, typically 1 foot above the ground, is vase shaped with age, dense, and has a semi upright habit. Left on its own, it will form a multi trunked specimen. Selective pruning when young will allow for a more tree like form and will also help to develop a strong branch
