Asked May 04, 2026, 11:32 AM EDT

Can you tell me where I might be able to purchase the northern strain redbud tree in Minnesota? I live near Brainerd. Thank you! I love the U of MN Extension website and the Smart Gardens show on WCCO. I appreciate all your hard work and expertise!

Hi Nancy, 

Thank you for your kind message! This is a great question, but unfortunately we cannot recommend specific retailers. I think contacting the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum might be best (https://arb.umn.edu/). Since it was developed by them, they might be able to suggest some garden centers near Brainerd that have the tree available. 

You could look at the Minnesota’s Nursery and Landscape Association’s (MNLA) website to see if a retailer is a member. Here is their website:

Sorry we can't be of more help. Good luck!
