RISING SUN EASTERN REDBUD

“Rising Sun Eastern Redbud is hands down the most brilliant and colorful of all the Eastern Redbuds.  In spring, lavender flowers emerge before leafing out heart shaped foliage which turns from apricot to a vibrant chartreuse color.  It is the perfect specimen for a smaller landscape project. I happen to have this beauty in my own backyard.”
