The Red Bud or Cercis canadensis grows as a small growing tree that displays and abundance of purple blossoms in the spring. This spring flowering tree is a good choice for adding spring color to any sunny or woodland landscape. It has large heart shaped leaves during the summer, and long seed pods in the fall.
