Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exceptionally attractive, relatively new introduction from TN. With so many new redbuds coming into the trade, we have to wonder when they will start to look like re-runs, but this is clearly a fine variety. Smaller in stature 12-15 ft. at maturity than the species, its foliage is set on its branches with Vegas dealer-like precision. This one will catch your own heart.
