Redbud
Cercis canadensis |

Description:
Eastern Redbud is a small to medium sized tree with multiple trunks (most varieties)
The heart-shaped leaves appear after the magenta pink flowers bloom in early
spring. The flowers are borne in clusters along the bare branches and make the whole
tree look pinkish-purple! Redbuds can be used as a street tree or to provide
shade for a patio. They are also useful as a spring accent since the flowers are one
of the first signs of spring, opening about the time of Dogwoods and Azaleas Redbuds
grow well in full sun but will tolerate some shade. Will also adapt to a variety of
soils but does best in light, rich moist clay-rich soils. |
