Royal White Redbud
The Royal White Redbud, 'Cercis canadensis "Royal White", demostrates the most appealing feature of the redbud species with the showy, large white flowers in early spring. The seed pods attract wildlife. It can be used in full sun to part shade. It has low water requirements and displays a high tolerance to salt and alkali soils. Thousands of white flowers appear in the spring before leaves appear. It has large heart shaped leaves during the summer, and long seedpods in the fall. The Royal White Redbud is also a more compact tree than the Eastern Redbud. Does well in many soil types, except permanently wet soils. These trees are effective as a single specimen, in groupings, in a shrub border, and especially nice in woodland and naturalized type situations. Red Bud trees have a yellow fall color. ... additional info
