The redbud flowering tree shrub blooms beautiful pink showy flowers beginning in April and tolerates shade well. These shrubs are enjoyed for their early blooms...showing bright colors well before other showy shrubs do in spring.

The leaves of the Cercis Redbud are heart-shaped. Cersis is related to the pea family. Likewise the pods on the tree are edible and so are the flowers. The petals contain a high amount of protein and are rich in Vitamin C. The roots and bark of the tree are used medicinally much like willow trees, brewed for tea high in antioxidants
