Redbud, Texas
Cercis reniformis 'Texas'
Discontinued
A Texas native that is a smaller, more manageable sized Redbud for the average landscape -- staying under 20 feet in height and width. Although it naturally is a multi-trunk small tree, they are often pruned to be single trunk. It thrives in fertile soil with regular watering, but it’s drought and heat tolerant, more so than the Eastern Redbud. It is not as cold hardy as Oklahoma redbud, but faster growing.
Clusters of rose-purple flowers appear in the late winter to early spring before foliage, and continue for a couple weeks as the leaves begin to emerge. The seed pods are flat, reddish brown and can be up to four inches long, persisting into the winter after leaves drop. The waxy, glossy green leaves are heart shaped, with slightly waved edges.
