Soon after your Redbud blooms, light green, perfectly heart shaped leaves will emerge. This forms the perfect backdrop to enhance the stunning blossoms color. From summer to fall the leaves transform from a shimmering light green; will darken to a beautiful emerald green and finally turn a bright golden yellow.  The Eastern Redbud grows 1-2 feet a year; its mature height is 20-30 feet. A perfect size if you have limited space but this tree can stand out even in the largest yard. *  Early bloomer*  Disease resistant*  Low maintanance
