The Black Pearl Redbud is a striking cultivar of the Eastern Redbud tree, prized for its deeply pigmented, glossy leaves that appear almost black, holding their color well throughout the summer. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, the tree is covered in profuse clusters of beautiful lavender-pink flowers. This tree is a maneagable size, making it a good choice for smaller yards or as an accent tree in landscapes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
