  • Description

  • Notes

Forest Pansy Redbud is a lovely, deciduos, small tree, well suited for mass planting, smaller spaces, entries, or patios. It grows to about 20 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet wide with a rounded crown and low branching habit. Bark is a dark brown to reddish-brown. Small, rosy-pink flowers appear along the bare branches in spring. Reddish-purple leaves emerge after the flowers and are large and heart-shaped; mature to a warm maroon with a yellow-orange fall color. Lovely winter silhouette.
