Eastern Redbud Tree

Cercis canadensis

This small tree in the legume family showcases lovely pink blooms in spring and is native to much of eastern North America. They grow in a variety of habitats, but prefer well-drained slopes in woods without many other plants to compete with. Its flowers are pollinated by carpenter bees and other bees with long tongues, and the leaves provide food for several caterpillar and moth species. The flowers on this tree are also edible and contain beneficial anthocyanins, a group of antioxidants.

The stressful hot and dry summer followed by a near freeze and week plus of 40s followed by several weeks of 60-80 have led to this redbud (Cercis canadensis) tree flowering and setting new leaves.

It should be fine, but next year might not be a great flower show.
