Eastern Redbud Height: 8-10 m Width: 7-8 m Zone: 5 Exposure: Sun to part shade This tree is borderline hardy in the Ottawa area. Place in sheltered location. Very possible that it will revert to multistem tree form if single stem. Very pretty red-pink flowers bloom on bare branches and even on mature trunks. Heart-shaped green leaves turn an attractive yellow in the fall. Flat-topped, vase shaped habit when mature. Cercis tolerates varied soil conditions and pHs, but not wet soils. To promote general health, prune out dead branches. Show more
