Eastern Redbud Tree

The Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a small, flat-topped tree native to eastern North America. It's known for its dramatic spring blooms of rose-pink flowers that burst from buds along the stems, usually in March or April. The redbud's heart-shaped leaves emerge reddish, turn dark green in summer, and then yellow in fall. The tree can grow 12–18 inches per year, reaching a height of 10–20 feet
