 | Western Redbud Tree. There are very few trees that can compare to the seasonal interest of the Western Redbud Tree (Cercis occidentalis). These well-known and highly ornamental small trees are beautiful in each and every season! In the spring, they begin their show by smothering the naked limbs in rosy lavender-red buds (hence the name!). Since they bloom before most other trees begin to leaf out - even before they leaf out themselves - they are stunningly eye-catching in the early spring garden! Early-emerging pollinators... - Western Redbud Tree. |
