Cercis canadensis 'Texensis' --Texas Redbud--

Large shrub or small tree, 10-20 ft. Unique from its Eastern Redbud cousin, Texas Redbud has smaller, glossier and typically hairier leaves with wavy edges & a higher tendency of growing red seedpods. Naturally spanning from the southern mountains of Oklahoma, through the limestone-rich heartland of Central Texas to northeastern Mexico, this hardy tree is notably drought resistant. Heralds the spring with clusters of rose-purple flowers bursting forth before leaves emergeLeaves are heart-shaped or kidney-shaped, concluding to a rounded tip with slightly wavy, glossy edges, and transform into gold or red colors as winter approaches. Flourishes in limestone soil, drought-tolerant, flexible to sun exposure and thrives even in relatively thinner soils. A haven for pollinators, and shade tolerant.
