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.
