Eastern Redbud vs Harcourt Apple
Cercis canadensis
Malus Harcourt
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
The Eastern Redbud is known for the pea-like pink buds that emerge in clusters on the bark, embellishing the tree in stunning flowers. They have a longer bloom time, sometimes for two to three weeks before the heart-shaped leaves emerge for the summer. Inedible pods emerge that turn brown in the summer, this tree is a part of the bean family.
Native to the Eastern North America. The Eastern Redbud can tolerate acidic and alkaline soil. Plant this as a beautiful understory species or shaded residential yard or garden. The bright pop of color will make an attractive ornamental tree.
The Harcourt apple is a cold hardy apple produced by the University of Alberta. The fruit is good for fresh eating or baking, and ripens in late August.
