The Eastern Redbud Tree, scientifically known as Cercis canadensis, is a beloved deciduous tree renowned for its stunning early spring display of pink to lavender flowers that bloom directly on the branches and trunk. This native North American tree is celebrated for its heart-shaped leaves that emerge a reddish color before transitioning to a vibrant green and then to yellow in the fall. Ideal for small gardens, landscapes, and under larger canopy trees, the Eastern Redbud adds a splash of color and visual interest to any outdoor space. It is a versatile and low-maintenance tree that provides habitat and food for pollinators and wildlife, enhancing biodiversity in the garden.
Growth Rate and Mature Size
Moderate growth rate; mature height of 20-30 feet and width of 25-35 feet.
Watering and Sunlight
Eastern Redbud benefits from regular watering during its establishment phase and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system; reduce frequency once established, as it is relatively drought-tolerant. Prefers full sun to partial shade, with more flowers produced in sunnier locations. Adequate sunlight and moisture are key to its growth, flowering, and overall health.
