Putting on a beautiful in late winter/early spring with clusters of tiny magenta buds swelling into showy mauve, pink flowers before the leaves appear, the ornamental redbud’s long-lasting blossoms put on a show for two to three weeks. The trunk of the redbud commonly divides close to the ground, creating an interesting multi-trunk shape with graceful arched branches and a rounded crown. Beautiful heart-shaped leaves bloom a reddish color, turn dark green in summer and then a bright canary yellow in autumn. The flowers also give rise to clusters of beanlike pods that remain on the tree into winter. Adding redbud trees to landscapes is a great way to add brilliant color and visual interest.
Redbuds are easy to grow as well as care for. They adapt to a wide range of site conditions and thrive in most types of soil and levels of sun exposure though they do best when grown in a moist, well-drained location. The typical height of a redbud is 20 to 30 feet and because of their modest size, they work extremely well as an understory trees and are very visually stunning when planted in groupings. Because of their resilient nature, redbuds make it a very popular small tree for landscapes.
