Redbud ‘Lavender Twist’ Tree
This unusual Redbud tree blooms in early May. It is one of my favorite redbuds because of its very unusual characteristics. It is a twisting, weeping dwarf tree that only grows to between 5 to 7 feet tall. The Covey grows vigorously and is absolutely beautiful when in bloom.

The blooms are a soft lavender pink, it’s leaves are large, dark green and layer the twisted canopy. This unique tree is hardy and the branches eventually zigzag through-out the entire body of the tree.
This tree is a beautiful specimen even in winter.
