Mexican Redbud

Driving in early Spring through southern warm-temperate counties, Redbud cannot be overlooked. Their pink-red flowers on branches without leaves are showy and can be seen from far away. Redbuds grow as deciduous trees sometimes multi-branched shrubs. Later in the year their round heart-shaped leaves make them special. Varieties of Redbuds found in the US are: Cercis canadensis - Eastern Redbud Cercis mexicana - Mexican Redbud - some botanist think it is a variety of C. canadensis Cercis occidentalis - California Western Redbud Cercis reniformis - Oklahoma Redbud - some botanists think it is a variety of C. canadensis Cercis texensis - Texas Redbud - some botanist think it is a variety of C. canadensis Mexican Redbuds have a high drought tolerance and grow well in full sun. When the soil is light and rich, most plants including the Redbud grow very well, but Redbuds grow on a variety of soil including sandy or alkaline, often on limestones soils. When their is a drought and hot temperatures, you can help all Cercis species with some additional water. Cercis is often used by Lepidoptera larvaes. Redbud beans provide food for several bird species. Want to know more about Mexican Oak? Article Bill Ward about Mexican oak It is important to protect Nature!
