About
Oklahoma Redbud Trees: Its glossy green foliage. It
was discovered growing wild in the Arbuckle Mountains of Oklahoma
in 1964. It is a small, deciduous understory tree which typically
grows to 12-18' tall. Clusters of tiny, wine-red, pea-like flowers
bloom profusely on the branches and mature trunks for 2-3 weeks in
early spring (March-April) before the foliage emerges. Heart-shaped
leaves open soft pink but gradually mature to a glossy rich green.
Pendulous, flat, bean-like, 2-4" long seed pods resembling snow
peas appear after flowering.

color is variable, but often includes attractive shades of reddish-purple
and orange. Redbuds are true harbingers of spring. Easily grown
in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.
Part shade is best in hot climates. Since this tree does not transplant
well, it should be planted when young and left undisturbed. Not
reliably winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5 where it should be
planted in a protected location. Excellent small tree for lawns,
woodland gardens or naturalized areas. Effective planted as a specimen
or in groups. Street tree in residential areas.
