Eastern Redbud

Cercis canadensis

$142.00

A small graceful tree with an open and irregular habit.  It is prized for the pea-like reddish-purple buds that open to a purplish-pink or lavender color along the branches and trunk before the leaves emerge in early spring.  The heart-shaped leaves are light green, turning yellow in the fall.  Leguminous seedpods mature and dry throughout the summer.  Eastern Redbud performs the best in moderately fertile soil that is well drained but has access to constant moisture.  Attractive as a street or lawn tree either as a specimen, in small groups, or in a naturalized setting.
