Mature redbud trees are prolific seeders. If you have one, it’s common to see new redbud trees coming up in the lawn. The redbud is one of my favorite flowering trees in Virginia.

The redbud tree is one of my favorite trees (second only to the dogwood tree) with its flowering spring display. The redbud name seems a bit odd to me since they look more pink or purple than red.

Redbuds do nicely on the edge of a woods; this one is alongside a powerline cut near the Appalachian Trail.

A redbud tree in the backyard was looking nice last weekend.
