Redbuds are the perfect specimen tree! The redbuds have bright
|
|||
|
|
pink flowers that coat the branches in spring after all the other
|
|||
|
|
spring trees are done blooming.

Adorable heart shaped leaves with
|
|||
|
|
colors like lime green or burgundy purple that hold on through the fall.

When they finally drop, the colors are breathtaking with bright yellow,
|
|||
|
|
oranges and burgundy.

The redbud ranges in size from very small,
|
|||
|
|
5-6’ to 25-30’; there’s the right sized one for any garden.

My favorite are the Flame thrower with green and maroon leaves
|
|||
|
|
and the Ruby Falls with the weeping purple leaves, Heart of Gold
|
|||
|
|
is nice for the lime green leaves in a dark corner.

Redbuds like full sun or partial shade, so are a good alternative
|
|||
|
|
to Japanese maples. They do require good drainage.
