The Eastern Redbud, Cercis canadensis is one of my favorite blooming trees. Tiny clusters of purple flowers cover the stems. It will grow between 15' and 30' tall. It will grow in full to partial sun, and is relatively disease and pest free.
The leaves are a nice dark green color. There is also a slower growing variety that is called Forest Pansy that has dark red leaves in the Spring. For the best red colored leaves, this variety needs to be put in full sun.

This is an absolutely gorgeous native tree with eye-catching blossoms. We planted ours about 6 years ago after getting it at Williams Nursery. We have had absolutley zero problems with it, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
