The bright yellow flower of the forsythia brings signs of the beginning of Spring. They are among the first shrubs to flower in the Spring, and they flower before their leaves appear. They can be used as a single specimen or make a splash as a hedge anywhere in the yard.

Redbud Trees (cercis canadensis) are one of the first flowering trees that people ask about it in the early spring. “Snowbirds” see them in the southern states – often when they are traveling home form their winter vacation places in the early spring. In many Southern states, late winter to early spring time is the time they are in blossom with their beautiful pinkish-purple flowers. They are adorned with unique heart-shape leaves. Redbud (also known as Judas tree) is grown as a clump or can be grown as a single stem tree, and is usually a small tree, but can attain height of thirty feet or more.
“Minnesota strain” of Redbud are trees that have been originally collected from northern-grown seed and are propagated to endure colder weather conditions better than their Southern counterparts. They are, therefore, said to be harder in the Northern climates. I have seen older Redbud trees in our area in Leelanau County near Lake Michigan where temperatures are tempered by the water of Lake Michigan. They can be grown successfully in Northern Michigan. |
