Black Pearl Redbud is a deciduous shade tree known for its bare branches lined with rosy pink flowers, then heart-shaped leaves. Black Pearl Redbud flowers in spring in shades of black, and performs best in full sun with moderate watering once established. This tree matures to roughly 15-25 feet tall and 15-25 feet wide. It is ideal for front yards, boulevards, and open lawns where summer shade is wanted, offering long-term shade and strong seasonal colour. Well suited to the Canadian climate in zones 4-9, it establishes readily and improves with age. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
