Here are some seeds of the beautiful Cercis gigantea, which is a very popular small tree. This tree is considered fully hardy to USDA zone 5, possibly colder. These trees prefer full sun or partial shade. Redbuds are particularly beautiful because in spring they cover themselves with loads of lavender pink flowers all up and down the branches. The leaves of this tree are heart shaped and about 6 to 8 inches on average. These trees can reach heights of 25+ feet tall.
