Texas
Redbud is a deciduous tree, native to
southwestern North America including Texas, which
reaches 30 to 40 feet in height with a 15 to 20-foot
width, and grows slowly into a rounded or vase shape
. It and the Mexican Redbud are the best
suited
Redbuds for the western and central Texas and
Oklahoma
areas of the country. Young trees are a bit
irregularly-shaped
and benefit from some training and
pruning
to form an upright, more uniform crown. The
incredibly
shiny, thick, leathery, dark green leaves
have
rounded or notched tips, are two to three inches
wide,
and turn yellow before dropping in the fall. The
pink
flowers appear in profusion up and down the tree
limbs
in springtime, well before the leaves begin to
emerge.
The four-inch-long seedpods which follow
are
a lovely purple color and remain on the tree well
into the winter.
