From Paul B.E. Woody come two compact new redbuds in recent years: this, and 'Ace of Hearts'. This is the more compact of the two, growing about a foot per year. In addition to its expected pink flowers on short internode stems, its almost dwarf habit allows use in landscapes where other redbud selections might outgrow their footprint. Bright foliage on this distinctive plant offers summer-long interest.

At maturity this diminutive form can reach 10'. The red tinged new foliage matures green and has a puckered texture on its small, heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are arranged close to the stems. Finally a Cercis for the smallest garden spaces!
