Midnight Express® Redbud — 15 Gallon
(Cercis canadensis ‘JN100’ Midnight Express®)
Tree Description
The Midnight Express® Redbud is a striking ornamental tree known for its brilliant spring flowers and dramatic dark foliage. In early spring, the bare branches become covered with vivid pink-purple blossoms, creating a stunning display before the leaves emerge.
After flowering, the tree develops rich dark purple foliage that holds its color throughout the growing season, giving it a bold and unique appearance compared to traditional redbuds. The combination of colorful flowers and dark foliage makes this tree a standout focal point in the landscape.
