Abstract

The state tree of Oklahoma, eastern redbud is a moderate to rapid grower when young, reaching a height of 20 to 25 feet. 'Silver Cloud' has variegated leaves blotched with white. Thirty-year-old specimens are rare, but they probably can reach 25 to 30 feet in height forming a rounded vase. The pink flowers are much less noticeable than on the species. Eastern redbud has an irregular growth habit when young but forms a graceful flat-topped vase-shape or globe as it gets older.
