The Western Redbud is a small deciduous tree or shrub found in the foothills and mountains of California.
Do redbud trees lose their leaves in the fall?
ANSWER: Redbuds and many other trees normally drop some leaves early when drought-stressed. This is an adaptation to reduce the need to take up moisture from the dry soil.
Where is the best place to plant a redbud tree?
Choose a planting site for Eastern redbuds at least 6 to 8 feet from existing structures and about 3 feet from fences. The site should receive full sun to partial shade, with the shade in the afternoon. Eastern redbuds do poorly in soggy soil, so choose a site that drains well and doesn’t have standing water.
