Redbud trees (Cercis spp.) are beloved ornamental trees known for their stunning early spring blooms, heart-shaped leaves, and compact, graceful form. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 4–9, redbuds thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, making them perfect for residential landscapes, gardens, and commercial plantings. These low-maintenance trees burst into color with vibrant pink to lavender flowers that bloom directly on the branches before the foliage emerges.
