Cercis c. Redbud
Best ornamental tree for small garden landscapes and seasonal color.
This is the rare Redbud that trades the typical wispy bloom for a dense, high-impact show of double pink pom-poms. Its compact stature makes it an effortless fit for tight urban gardens, though you’ll sacrifice the sprawling canopy of larger varieties for this refined, ornamental shape.
