Lovely small tree or large shrub, 10-15' tall x 12' wide, from the southwestern USA. Leathery rounded leaves, green with paler undersides. Clusters of rose-pink flowers in spring. Little summer water once established. Cold hardy in USDA zone 5-9.

Western Redbud is perhaps more ornamental than its eastern cousin, but it is harder to grow since it requires dry roots in summer. The leaves are bluish in the summer and the tree stays short, 12'. zone 6
