Cercis siliquastrum, commonly known as Judas Tree, is a beautiful ornamental tree from Southern Europe and Western Asia. This deciduous shrub or tree can grow up to 35 ft tall and produces deep pink flowers in spring on year-old or older growth, including the trunk. The leaves appear shortly after the first flowers emerge and are heart-shaped with a blunt apex, while the tree produces long flat pods that hang vertically. The flowers are not only beautiful but also edible. They have a sweetish-acid taste and can be added to salads, while the flower buds are pickled and used as a condiment. This tree prefers deep, well-drained soils and a position in full sun or partial shade. It can also grow in nutritionally poor soil and is noted for attracting wildlife. Propagation is by seed, cuttings, or budding. The species produces hard wood with an attractive grain that is used in veneers and polishes well. Despite its name, Judas Tree has no connection to the biblical figure. It is a beautiful addition to any garden and adds a pop of color in the spring season.
