Description
Royal White Eastern Redbud is a beautiful flowering tree with a more compact multi-stemmed habit and rounded to vase-shaped canopy. The heart-shaped leaves are vibrant green and turn yellow in the fall. Its profusion of larger white pea-like flowers cover the branches in early spring. These flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Best blooms occur in full sun and deep, well-drained soils.
