Eastern Redbud
Cercis canadensis
The Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a small deciduous tree native to eastern North America. Known for its striking appearance, it features heart-shaped leaves and clusters of vibrant pink to purple flowers that bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge. Eastern Redbud is a popular choice in landscaping for its aesthetic appeal, adding color and charm to gardens and yards.
Its flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, while its seeds and foliage provide food and shelter for various wildlife species. The tree’s root system helps prevent soil erosion, making it a useful addition to landscapes near water bodies. Eastern Redbud is adaptable to different soil types and climate conditions, making it a hardy and low-maintenance tree choice.
