I planted a redbud tree about three years ago. The tree seemed to do ok for the first two summers but this summer I noticed that the leaves never got the size that they should be. The tree seemed to be struggling to survive. They also seemed kind of wilty, even after a rain or watering. I was afraid maybe it was planted too deep so I scraped off some of the soil. How can I tell if it is planted ...

I have a redbud in my backyard that was BEAUTIFUL in the spring. Once summer hit, the leaves started developing black spots that eventually take over the entire leaf. The leaves don't wilt or fall off; they just turn black and hang on. We just had a lot of rain recently and little leaves have begun to sprout all over the tree. Each of the new leaves are already showing the same problems. We've...

I need to move an Oklahoma Redbud that is about 5' tall. We have redone our front garden and it is now in the pathway. Do I need to wait until it goes dormant this Fall (loses its leaves)? Peggy

The bark of my ten year old redbud seems to be shedding right at the base of the tree. I don't like the idea of a tree losing its bark. Is this a common problem with redbuds? Is it something to worry about? Answer Paul: This may indicate possible insect or disease activity. You might consider scratching around in that area to check for any "sawdust" or wet areas where something may be "...

I have a young redbud, in it's second season, sprouted from seed. The trunk is one foot high, with two leafy branches forming a "V" at the branch collar. The two branches are each about seven feet long. Could someone provide some advice as to how short I should cut back those two branches this winter. Thank you.

I am looking for The Lavender Twist Weeping Redbud, 'Cercis canadensis "Covey", also known as Twisted Lavender Redbud. Please check my trade list to see if there is something of interest.

Maybe it's because they are as common as dirt here in SW VA, but I'm not a huge fan of redbud. We have an 18-year-old one, and it looks pretty ragged after that time. The trunk looks gnarly & the bark there is really loose & falls off in patches. I've had to prune some dead branches out each year. The bloom is pretty, but I don't care for its looks the rest of the year. The fall color is ...

I don't know, 7' sounds like it would be enough width to support most medium-sized shrubs. Many people in our neighborhood have limbed up old overgrown hollies to create something that looks more like a tree, if the tree look is what you're after. Weeping redbud sounds good. Japanese Maples are sure gorgeous, and I don't know if you can beat those for an accent plant near your front ...

Celeste, I spent many wonderful hours in Woodward park when I was younger. You captured the building very nicely, and this is a GREAT first PA painting. There are a lot of beautiful places to paint PA around Tulsa. Mohawk Park, Chandler Park, Swan Lake, LaFortune Park, and if you get outside of town just a bit, Redbud Valley in the spring is pretty, Muskogee during the Azalia Festival, ...

"We are all done around here. No leaves left on the trees. " ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The dogwoods, a maple, and a redbud are just dropping their leaves. We also have two pecan trees that don't drop until Thanksgiving week. Then we have a magnolia which flowers beautifully but also has leaves that drop off and on all year. We use the leaves as umbrellas when the rain is partiicularly ...

This past week I won tickets to the Sammy Kershaw concert. I was very excited to get the 4 tickets and even more excited when I found out that it wasn't at a 18 and over venue. I was going to get to take my favorite mancub and two other friends as well. I invited Mitch and Wendy. Mitch works with me and actually lives on this side of Ga like we do. The concert was at the Gateway arena. It ...

Hello, all! It's been so long since I've posted on this forum. Been reading a lot (and getting ready for wintersowing -- woohoo!) but haven't had a whole lot to say lately :-) Anyway, my oldest daughter started school this year, and as luck would have it, she's at the same school I went to as a child. I spent some of the happiest times of my childhood at Beacon Elementary, and wanted to give ...
