The little woody redbud is grown for its petite size and purplish-pink spring blooms.  This vase-shaped tree grows to 10 to 12 feet tall and not as wide.  It has green-heart-shaped leaves that are slightly crinkly and change to yellow.

This tree prefers part shade to full sun and moist, well-drained soil.  It cannot tolerate wet sites.  It works well as a small accent or understory tree.
