While these trees are not native to California, they do thrive on the West Coast. In fact, the University of California recommends American Redbud as a "well-behaved plant to substitute invasive alternatives. Perhaps its most coveted feature is the profusion of pink flowers that cover its bare branches in spring." Seedlings are 6 to 12 inches tall. We will provide you with planting instructions and a firm date for pick up. If you have any questions, please post them here.NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
