Cercis canadensis 'Appalachian Red' ~ Appalachian Red Redbud
Appalachian Red Redbud is a small popular native deciduous tree with multiple trunks and a rounded crown. Papery heart shaped dark blue-green foliage turns yellow in fall. The heavy profusion of small fuschia pink to red flowers contrast starkly against the bare near-black bark in early spring attracting butterflies. Following the flowers are bean-like seed pods that mature in summer and can persist until winter. Prefers partial sun and rich well-drained soils with consistent moisture. Tolerates deer and Black Walnuts.
Cercis canadensis is an important host for the Henry's Elfin Butterfly and supports a specialized bee- the Southeast Blueberry Bee. Its nectar is an early food source for several butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. The seedpods are enjoyed by birds and wildlife.
