The Red Bud Tree

One of my all time favorite trees is the red bud tree. The beauty is the red bud is one that expresses beauty of multi seasons. Spring as the beautiful buds begin and quickly turn to little flowers and slowly to green leaves. Summer you will view the beauty of the pods that will stay on the tree even after the leaves begin to drop off in the fall. The smaller stature of the red-bud tree demands its presence in nature. Many residents desire the redbud tree in their own yard. 

The redbud tree does best when grown in moist well drained areas. They have been grown in most of the eastern United States. Redbuds have been present as far west as the states of Oklahoma and Texas and North into Canada.
