With large yellow leaves from spring into summer, Hearts of Gold stands out in partially shaded settings

This native tree is a harbinger of spring with masses of purplish-pink flowers that attract many early-season pollinators looking for nectar and pollen. Flowering occurs before the leaves emerge. A member of the legume family, the pea-like flowers are followed by brown seed pods that resemble pea pods.

Fall foliage is usually a good yellow.

Redbuds are smaller trees with nearly flat or rounded crowns often found growing beneath taller trees. Use as a focal point, in groups or along woodland edges.
