Cercis canadensis 'Appalachian red'
Reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a similar spread, the 'Appalachian Red' Eastern Redbud boasts an appealing rounded to vase-shaped growth habit. In early spring, before the emergence of its heart-shaped leaves, it bursts into a stunning display of vivid, deep red-purple flowers, covering its branches in a profusion of color. These blossoms are not only visually striking but also attract pollinators, making it a valuable addition to the garden ecosystem. As the season progresses, the heart-shaped leaves emerge in a rich green shade, providing a lush backdrop for the garden. In the fall, the foliage may transition into shades of yellow or orange, adding seasonal interest. The 'Appalachian Red' Eastern Redbud prefers well-draining soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its exceptional early-spring flowering and adaptability to various soil conditions make it a favored choice for landscapes, gardens, and woodland settings. Its capacity to bring vibrant color and a touch of elegance to outdoor spaces contributes to its popularity as a striking and versatile tree.
