Field Notes

Description:

Forest Pansy Redbud. This is a small spectacular ornamental tree that provides early spring flowers. (Cercis canadensis) Spring has arrived when you see this redbud tree explode into vibrant hues of red-purple. Forest pansy redbud will be covered for 3-4 weeks with flowering clusters on grey branches. The heart-shaped leaves gradually turn into a deep green. In Autumn the redbud’s leaves transform to a profusion of reds, purples, and yellows. Forest Pansy is a cultivar of the wildly popular Redbud tree.

Habitat:

There are several of these small forest pansy redbud flowering trees at our local county park in Millersville, Maryland.
