Weeping Redbud, Eastern Redbud, Canadian Redbud, Judas Tree 'Lavender Twist'

I ran across a Lavendar Twist while shopping online and fell in love! I live in Northern California and shopped around locally until I f...Read Moreound one about 50 miles from my house ('cause I wanted one NOW). I went to pick it up and found a pathetic, half dead specimen. I felt so sorry for it that I bought it regardless of it's sad state and price ($80). I really should have demanded that the nursery lower the price, since they didn't offer...but eh, I just wasn't in the mood to argue.

my understanding from speaking w/ them at msu was to
expect edge of forest tree, sun, wind protected slow growth
20' high by 12'-15' width, so my planting it will be
according to their specs.

underwoods has one left.
