Redbud is a small native tree with attractive pink to lavendar flowers in the spring (late April to early May), heart-shaped leaves through the summer, and brown, 2-3” seed pods in the fall and winter. The stems have a zigzag appearance. Redbud can be used as a lawn tree, specimen tree or in woodland planting. Redbud is not very tolerant to stress and is sensitive to salt.
