Redbud seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Redbud for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. autumn colour and fruit or berry display was the clear high point — everything you're told about Redbud at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

significant impact on the microclimate and character of a garden is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a boundary or avenue planting in a larger space as the ideal position. staking correctly with a low stake to allow the trunk to flex and strengthen was the lesson I took into next year. root encroachment near drains or house foundations is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
