Eastern Redbud Tree

The Eastern Redbud Tree is a breathtaking native ornamental celebrated for its early-season magic and romantic, heart-shaped foliage. Long before other trees wake, the Redbud erupts in a stunning display of vibrant pink to lavender blossoms that coat the bare branches and even the trunk in a phenomenon known as cauliflory. Growing to a perfectly sized 20 to 30 feet, it is the premier choice for homeowners because its compact, multi-stemmed habit fits beautifully under power lines or in smaller garden nooks. Its unique heart-shaped leaves transition from a soft bronze to a lush green, then a buttery gold in the fall. Eastern Redbuds also serve as a critical early-spring nectar source for honeybees and emerging butterflies. It is extraordinarily adaptable, thriving in both full sun and the dappled shade of larger canopy trees. These Redbud Tree Seeds were collected in the North for superior cold-hardiness and can be planted in the South to have this trait. Also Known As: Eastern Redbud,
