The Redbud Tree, a tree native to Virginia, announces the arrival of spring with bright pink blooms that give way to beautiful heart-shaped leaves. This early blooming tree is vital to our local wildlife. Our native pollinators depend on these blooms for nectar and pollen. In the fall, the seedpods provide food to birds and squirrels. Your business or school can help provide an important food source for native pollinators and other local wildlife by planting one of these beautiful trees.

Does the property where you wish to plant have adequate space to support a tree (considering the size of the tree at maturity as well)? Redbuds grow to 20-30 feet and spread 25-35 feet at maturity. The tree will grow moderately fast (height increases of 13-24 inches per year).

No
What is the soil condition? (The redbud can grow in acidic and alkaline soils, but prefers loamy, moist, rich soils. Can tolerate sandy and clay soils, but well-drained; no constantly mucky areas with standing water.)
Will the tree get adequate sun? Redbuds prefer full sun/partial shade (at least 4 hours of direct, unfiltered sun per day for good bloom coverage). Trees planted in full sun will require more water.
