This tree is very prolific and can be considered positive by some and a detriment by others.

A great tree with showy flowers. Recommended by xeriscape companies here in San Antonio so you know they are drought tolerant.

The Texas Redbud is a beautiful small to medium tree. The lovely flowers cover the branches in early Spring and together with the white flowering plums and pears presents a wonderful picture. The heart shaped leaves are lovely all summer turning to a golden shade in the fall.
