Description

Eastern Redbud
Description Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a deciduous large shrub or small tree. This tree is a great ornamental that supports wildlife. Redbuds get their name for their pink flowers that adorn their twigs in spring. Their fragrant flowers are an early food source for pollinators in spring. Their fruit attracts and feeds birds. Redbuds are moderately resistant to deer. View the breaking dormancy guide for redbuds here.
