Eastern Redbud 1 Oz 1200 Seeds Cercis canadensis
Cercis canadensis, commonly known as Eastern Redbud, is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree that typically reaches heights of 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) and spreads about 25 to 35 feet (7.6 to 10.7 meters) wide. It has a rounded crown with spreading branches. The leaves are alternate, simple, and heart-shaped, measuring 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 centimeters) in length. They emerge reddish-purple in spring, mature to a medium green in summer, and turn yellow in autumn before dropping. One of the most striking features of Cercis canadensis is its flowers. Clusters of small, pink to purple, pea-like flowers appear along the branches in early spring before the leaves emerge. These flowers give the tree a picturesque appearance and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The fruits of Cercis canadensis are flattened, legume-like pods that develop in summer and persist into winter. These pods contain seeds that are dispersed by birds and other wildlife.
