Western Oklahoma Redbud Tree

Some trees know how to attract a crowd when in flower and the Western Redbud stops the traffic with its beautiful soft-purple flowers all along the bare twigs in spring and attractive rounded leaves that turn red in fall. For grace and beauty this small tree is hard to beat and when you add-in drought and heat-resistance too you have a winner.

• Spectacular spring display of purple flowers
• Graceful small tree or large shrub
• Grows well in hot, dry locations
• Problem-free and easy to grow
• Beautiful fall colors too

Western Redbud is a large shrub or small tree, reaching perhaps 20 feet. It grows well in hot, dry areas as well as in milder locations and will be happy in all kinds of soil. It is drought-resistant and grows into a beautiful rounded plant with several trunks, or it can be pruned into a small single-stem tree. This is an ideal choice for front-yard planting and needs very little care after it becomes established, which it will quickly do in just a few years.
