Dramatic, rosy-pink blossoms and buds appear in early spring, April. Attractive, native, small tree. Heart-shaped leaves.
Full sun, tolerant of clay, prefers moist, well-drained soil. 10-20′ USDA Zones 4-9
Dramatic buds and blossoms contrast well with evergreen species when planted nearby, evergreens provide partial shade that benefits them; this cheerful native tree evolved in the understory and along forest edges.
Showy pink flowers, young seed pods, and flower buds of Eastern redbud are all edible, flavor is a mild, sweet flavor; texture is crisp. Leaves can be used in a salad, used as a garnish or even baked into cookies or cakes.
Young leaves and flowers can be cooked into stir-fry, or served with greens. Seed pods are also edible.
