Cercis Canadensis, Redbud This is another tree with little recorded herbal use, but it is an extremely valuable part of the landscape. It is a beautiful ornamental, an edible, a nitrogen fixing fertilizer and medicinal. Redbud is usually the first flowering tree to appear in the spring, often a month before the similarly sized Dogwood. Its bright, magenta flowers stand out in stark contrast to both the barren landscape and its own dark trunk. Unlike most other trees and bushes, the flowers are not only born on the ends of twigs and stems, but clusters of flowers appear all over the limbs and even the trunk of the tree!
