Hi! I have a mature Eastern Redbud Cercis ‘Forest Pansy’ in Pleasant Hill. It is lovely and we do get a lot of compliments, but it requires a lot of water otherwise the leaves are small and cupped. Also the purple color fades quickly to greenish in late spring once it gets warm. The western redbud is more forgiving and appropriate for our Mediterranean climate.
Hoping to plant a carob tree in our garden in Zakynthos, Greece, next year (more native in Cyrus I think).
Amazing
