A redbud tree I transplanted from a seedling in my garden is doing well.

Only buy one

Several years ago I bought a redbud tree from a nursery for my yard. I love seeing the beautiful pink flowers early in spring when the rest of the trees have yet to leaf out.

A year later I started to see redbud seedlings growing up in my garden so I transplanted them around my yard. Now I have several trees around my yard and along the riverbank to enjoy this spring. One volunteer tree also established itself in my neighbor's yard.
