Redbud (Cercis canadensis)

The redbud is generally a low shrub tree but if it is protected it can grow to considerable size, though no more than 10 m (35 ft.) It is a member of the pea family. This is one of the ways to identify it, because it produces seedpods that resemble peas. While is is a wild tree, people of the Midwest often plant it in their yards so they can enjoy the early pink blooms. Its heart-shaped leaf has an entire (smooth) margin.

It is sometimes called the Judas tree. According to legend, it is blushing because of Judas’ betrayal.
