The Texas Whitebud tree, Cercis canadensis, 'Texas Whitebud', has glossy green foliage. It is a small, deciduous understory tree which typically grows to 12-18' tall. Clusters of tiny, white, pea-like flowers bloom profusely on the branches and mature trunks for 2-3 weeks in early spring (March-April) before the foliage emerges. Deciduous heart-shaped leaves open soft pink but gradually mature to a glossy rich green. Pendulous, flat, bean-like, 2-4"" long seed pods resembling snow peas appear after flowering.
Fall color is variable, but often includes attractive shades of reddish-purple and orange. Dogwoods are true harbingers of spring. Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Part shade is best in hot climates. Excellent small tree for lawns, woodland gardens or naturalized areas. Effective planted as a specimen or in groups. Use as a street tree in residential areas.
