Redbud 'Forest Pansy'

Blooms in Late April/Early May for a couple of weeks before the leaves come out. Flowers are tight to the branches, forming buds right on the bark. Leaves often reddish when they first come out, and good green in summer. Orangish bark can be a little interesting in winter on older trees. Trees get 20 to 30-ft. high and can get as wide but some trees seem to have a tighter habit than others. Forest Pansy is a nice purple leaf variety with the purple color fading somewhat through the summer. Fruit is a dark pod and sometimes can make a tree look a little ratty if it has a lot of pods.
