The Story
The Royal White Redbud is a stunning cultivar of the native Eastern Redbud, distinguished by its pure white flowers that bloom profusely in early spring before the heart-shaped leaves emerge. This deciduous tree reaches 20-30 feet at maturity, making it an excellent choice for ornamental landscapes, woodland gardens, or as a specimen planting. Hardy in zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil conditions. The delicate white blossoms attract pollinators while the foliage provides summer interest and golden fall color. A refined alternative to the traditional pink-flowering redbud, this cultivar offers year-round visual appeal with minimal maintenance requirements.
