Cercis canadensis 'Texan White'
Texas eastern redbud 'Texas White' ( syn. Cercis reniformis 'Texas White' )
Showy clusters of large white blooms make Cercis 'Texas White' a standout flowering tree. This spreading, multi-stemmed redbud cultivar bears abundant milky-white flowers up to 2.5cm (1in) long on bare branches before the heart-shaped leaves emerge. The waxy foliage starts out bronze before maturing to a glossy green, turning lovely shades of yellow in autumn while dangling seed pods provide extended seasonal interest.
Hardy and drought tolerant when established, this Texan native is an ideal focal point or specimen tree.
