Cercis canadensis

Foliage Deciduous
Form V-Shaped
Mature Size 8 x 6m
Family Leguminosae
Eastern Redbud

This striking tree has beautiful, broad heart-shaped green leaves which turn yellow in autumn. Often multi-trunked, the branches have a distinctive zigzag growth habit. Blossom like flowers appear from late winter to early spring, starting off as deep red coloured buds and opening to pink. In summer, long, flat leguminous seedpods develop and can hang onto the tree until winter.

A fantastic feature tree for small or large gardens. Can be used in parks and gardens and as street trees. Also suitable for colder climate gardens, should cope with frosts and light snow.

This tree will tolerate most soils but doesn't like prolonged periods of drought or periods of wet. Best in deep well-drained fertile soils. Avoid hot and windy sites.
