Scientific Name:
Cercis canadensis

Family:
Redbud

Family:
Fabaceae (also known as Leguminosae)

Description:
The early Spring flowering of Redbud is attractive primarily because of the bright lavendar floral color and the fact that the foliage has not emerged. In addition, the growth habit of young trees that are found in the open is vased, becoming more spreading and irregular with age.
