Cercis reniformis ‘Oklahoma’ / Oklahoma Red Bud

Cercis reniformis ‘Oklahoma’ is a recent variety of Red Bud and is a simply lovely small tree., ideal for small gardens. It has deep, very glossy green leaves, which turn yellow and sometimes orange and purple in the autumn.  Cercis reniformis ‘Oklahoma’ also produces bean-pod like fruits.  The flowers are purple-pink and, as with Judas trees, cover the bare stems in early spring.  It prefers well-drained soil in full sun, with some partial shade.
