The Cercis canadensis Forest Pansy tree, commonly known as Forest Pansy Redbud or Eastern Redbud Forest Pansy, is a small tree grown for its impressive foliage and form. The heart shaped leaves are dark red when young, age to dark purple, then develop red and yellow tones in autumn before falling. As the foliage emerges in spring, masses of small pink blossoms are produced. It grows as either a multi-stemmed or single-trunked tree with a broad and rounded canopy to about 4.5 m tall and 3.5 m wide. Cercis Forest Pansy is commonly grown as a specimen, used in avenue plantings, planted around entranceways, grown around outdoor living areas, or included in a mixed planting.
