Description

This small, deciduous tree with a rounded head is covered with small flowers of a rose pink color in the spring before the appearance of heart-shaped leaves. It can grow to 25' tall with an equal spread. It has a low branching habit with a rounded form. Leaves turn yellow green in the fall. Not as tolerant of drought of high pH as some other varieties of Redbud. Needs protection from the afternoon sun in the low desert.
