Our redbud trees are showstoppers throughout the year. In the spring, they put on an abundance of showy pink flowers. Then, in the autumn, these trees produce an abundance of fall color. Most varieties offer bright yellow fall leaves, but there are options with purple fall foliage.
Our trees will grow to be about 30-feet tall with a spread of about 35 feet. Its rounded shape and attractiveness throughout the year make it a great choice in many landscapes.
In the spring, this tree puts on hundreds of pea-like rose-purple flowers. The flowers appear in clusters from four-to-10 flowers, and each flower can be up to 0.5-inches across.

After the flowers fade in about three weeks, the tree puts on its paper-like, dull green to blue-green leaves. These broad leaves that can be up to 3.5-inches across have a short, pointed tip. Simultaneously, the tree produces flattened, bean-like seedpods that start green and turn brown during the summer. Each pod contains six to 12 seeds. The seedpods may remain on the tree until mid-winter.
