Photo - Forest Pansy Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy')

Here is my favorite small tree for San Diego gardens.

The Forest Pansy Redbud is covered with pink flowers in

early spring, followed by dramatic purple foliage for the next 3-4 months.

In late summer the foliage turns green and then in October it will

change color again to look like this.
