As a deciduous small tree or multi-trunk shrub, it stands at 15-20 feet tall, adorned with glossy, rounder leaves that differ from its Eastern cousin. This drought and heat-tolerant variety captivates with its spring display of purple-red clusters of flowers on bare gray branches. Native to Central Texas, the Texas Redbud finds its place along limestone slopes and upland sites, boasting thick, leathery leaves and a distinctive bark that complements its natural beauty.
