THE Eastern Redbud
About the
Eastern Redbud :
The Red Bud tree, Cercis Canadensis, is
also known as the eastern red bud, and
sometimes referred to as the Judas tree
because it dates back to biblical times. It
is a small deciduous tree that displays an
abundance of purple blossoms in the spring.
It has large heart shaped leaves during the
summer, and long seedpods in the fall. Red
Bud trees have a yellow fall color.
These trees are effective as a single
specimen, in groupings, in a shrub border,
and especially nice in woodland and
naturalized type situations. It has low
water requirements and displays a high
tolerance to salt and alkali soils.
Thousands of small rosy-pink flowers appear
in the spring before leaves appear. It can
be used in full sun to part shade. Does well
in many soil types, except permanently wet
soils. The seed pods attract wildlife. |
