Description

The Eastern Redbud typically grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet with a spread of 25 to 35 feet. It has a rounded to vase-shaped canopy and develops a multi-stemmed trunk. The heart-shaped leaves are medium green in color and turn yellow in the fall, adding a touch of autumn beauty to the landscape.

One of the most captivating features of the Eastern Redbud is its profusion of flowers. Clusters of small, pea-like flowers cover the branches in early spring, creating a breathtaking display. These flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

This Redbud variety thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and adapts well to various soil types. Regular watering during dry periods is beneficial, especially when the tree is young and establishing its root system.
