Comments
The purple pink flowers of the eastern redbud appear all over the tree in early spring.
The flowers are even produced on large trunks. Redbud has a yellow fall color and is shade
tolerant.
Cultivars
var. alba - The flowers are pure white.
'Forest Pansy' - The new leaves are scarlet becoming
maroon as they mature. The flowers are pink. This cultivar may not be as hardy as the
species.
'Flame' ('Plena') - Double pink flowers appear at the
same time as the leaves. Seldom sets fruit.
'Silver Cloud' - The leaves are variegated with pink
and white. The plants are 12 feet tall and wide.
Treehoppers lay eggs under the bark of
twigs. The insect itself is not seen but the white, sticky froth covering the eggs is
quite noticeable (see image). The insect is seldom serious. Use 10 tablespoons of mineral
oil in a gallon of water as a dormant spray. Apply when the temperatures are between 35
and 85 degrees.
Scale insects can usually be controlled with
dormant sprays. To control crawlers use Sevin or malathion according to label directions
once the scale has been identified.
Dieback begins as a canker on a branch. The
cankers, at first small and sunken, enlarge to girdle the branch. Bark in the canker turns
black and a crack forms between diseased and healthy bark. The fungus enters through
wounds or dead and dying branches. Once girdled, the part of the stem beyond the canker
wilts and dies. There is no chemical control. Prune out diseased branches.
Leaf spots can be a problem during wet weather.
Since the disease is rarely serious, no chemical controls are suggested.
Verticillium wilt attacks and kills redbud.
Fertilize affected trees with high nitrogen fertilizer and prune out wilted
branches.
