The redbud tree is a small deciduous tree known for its stunning pink to purple flowers that bloom in early spring. Its scientific name is Cercis canadensis, and it typically grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet. The heart-shaped leaves emerge after the flowers, providing a lush green canopy during the warmer months. This tree is native to North America and is often found in woodlands and along riverbanks. The redbud tree is popular in landscaping due to its ornamental value and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade.
