Have you noticed this phenomenon this season? Pamm Cooper discussed it in the Hartford Courant this past weekend!
Check out that fall color! 🍂
Eastern redbuds (Cercis canadensis) are members of the bean and legume family, Fabaceae. The tree pictured is identified as C. canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ on UConn’s Campus Tree Map. Eastern redbuds of this cultivar display leaves with hues of red and ...purple in the fall. In the spring, flowers reminiscent of those seen on peas bloom before leaves emerge, popping up on bare branches in early spring. Subsequently, dry seedpods are produced after flowers and remain on trees into winter.
