Eastern Redbud TreeCercis canadensis, commonly known as the Eastern Redbud, is a small tree or large shrub that will add a splash of color to any landscape. This tree grows to be 20 30 feet tall and wide, making it an ideal choice for small to medium sized gardens. The stunning pink to purple blooms that cover the branches in early spring add a pop of color before the foliage emerges. The foliage is a deep, glossy green that transforms into a vibrant yellow in the fall.
