Oklahoma Sparkler® Redbud — 15 Gallon
(Cercis canadensis var. texensis ‘Oklahoma Sparkler’)
Tree Description
The Oklahoma Sparkler® Redbud is a striking ornamental tree prized for its brilliant spring flowers and compact, elegant form. In early spring, the bare branches become covered with vivid pink-purple blossoms, creating one of the most eye-catching displays in the landscape.
This variety is a selection of the Texas redbud, known for its excellent heat tolerance and glossy, thick leaves that hold up well through summer. After the spring bloom, the tree develops attractive heart-shaped foliage that provides a soft, ornamental canopy.
These 15-gallon trees provide an excellent landscape starting size, establishing quickly and creating a beautiful ornamental focal point in yards, gardens, and naturalized plantings.
