Blooming Beauties
I love these amazing Eastern Redbud trees
Redbud trees (Cercis canadensis) reach 15-25 ft. tall and provide one of the most stunning displays of native spring blooms. The bright pink flowers are situated directly along the trunk and branches of the Redbud, unlike other flowering trees who hold their blooms out with a small leafstalk called a petiole. Redbuds, along with other early-blooming thicket species, fuel the newly emerged Queen Bumblebees as they begin to build their colonies for the coming year. They also attract carpenter bees, and other solitary native bees. Their main value ecologically is being a powerhouse for attracting native bees in the spring, particularly on days above 65 degrees and at least somewhat sunny.
