Redbud is a fascinating genus of small trees with several species and many varieties and cultivars. Native to the eastern and southern US, Redbuds are scattered throughout the countryside’s and are one of the first trees to flower in early spring, along with Dogwoods.

California (Hardiness Zone: 8)
This is a lovely tree and perfect for a relatively small space. Ours is in its 2nd year and is really developing its branches and leafy canopy. Its first bloom this past winter wasn't huge but I'm sure it will be this coming winter! It's so pretty that our neighbors got one, too.
