Cercis canadensis - Single Stem

Description

The Cercis canadensis, commonly known as the Eastern Redbud, is a striking deciduous tree renowned for its vibrant pink to purple spring blossoms that emerge before the leaves. Its heart-shaped foliage provides a lush green backdrop throughout the summer, turning to a warm yellow in the fall. This single-stem variety offers a more structured appearance, making it a popular choice for ornamental planting.

Suggested Uses

Ideal for use as a specimen tree in gardens or as part of a mixed border. Its early blooms make it a valuable addition to wildlife gardens for attracting pollinators. Suitable for urban environments due to its moderate size.
