Cercis reniformis

Western Redbud

Spring brings a profusion of white, pink or red flower clusters that bloom as the leaves unfold or just before. Red-brown, flat seedpods that follow in summer last through winter. Broad, heart-shaped leaves turn yellow in autumn. Plant as a shrubbery background. Transplant ball and burlapped when small. Prune out deadwood. Water during growing/blooming season. Established plants tolerate dry soil and heat. Prune dead wood and shape after flowering.

Rich wine-red flower clusters grow on the trunk and branches of this multistemmed shrub. Soft pink new leaves mature to be thick and dark green. Reaches 10 to 12 feet tall and wide.
