Cercis canadensis, known as Eastern Redbud, Canadian Redbud, or Judas Tree, is a beloved small deciduous tree native to eastern North America. In early spring, before leaves emerge, its bare branches are smothered in tiny, pea-like, rosy-pink flowers. The heart-shaped leaves turn yellow in fall. It typically grows 20–30 feet tall with a graceful, spreading habit. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Numerous cultivars offer variations in flower color, leaf color, and form.
