Redbuds are beautiful ornamental trees that have tiny magenta buds that turn into rosy pink flowers in the spring. The blooms last about two to three weeks in the spring. Another key feature is the trunk can divide close to the ground, which gives it a multi-trunk look. Redbuds give off an awesome yellow/gold fall foliage for beautiful autumn color.
