Known as the harbinger of spring, the American Redbud’s delicate blossoms and buds are one of the season’s most dramatic displays. But this tree’s beauty doesn’t end with its flowery show. Unique and irregular branching patterns combine with a trunk that commonly divides close to the ground to create a very handsome, spreading and often flat-topped crown.
- Blooms in a profusion of rosy pink flowers in April
- Features heart-shaped leaves that emerge a reddish color, turning dark green as summer approaches and then yellow in the fall
- Makes a bold landscape statement, with its irregular branching and graceful crown
