Cercis canadensis var. mexicana, commonly known as Mexican Redbud, is the perfect choice for those seeking a striking small-space tree, particularly suited for the desert southwest's unique climate. Its captivating rose-violet blooms grace the tree in early spring, preceding the emergence of its glossy blue-green leaves. These leaves, with their pronounced wavy edges, transform into a spectacular golden hue in the fall, mirroring the quivering beauty of aspen foliage. This deciduous wonder thrives in full to partial sun, reaching a mature size of 12 to 20 feet tall and wide, providing a dense, rounded crown.

Belonging to the Fabaceae family, Mexican Redbud is native to southwest Texas and northeastern Mexico, making it well-adapted to occasionally dry and well-drained soils, including rocky terrains. Easily propagated by seed or stem cutting, it's ideal for native, pollinator, or drought-tolerant gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and birds. Its low-branching, upright growth habit, paired with stunning, sweetpea-like dark pink flowers, presents a harmonious blend of functionality and beauty for landscaped spaces.
