Cercis siliquastrum Native Recognizable by its smoothDeciduous. A curious native tree with upwardly wavy branches, producing rosy lilac flowers on bare stems in May, and offering pretty kidney shaped blue green foliage in summer. Turns yellow in autumn. The purple tinted seed pods are often conspicuous from July onwards. A deeply rooted species which is fairly well behaved in gardens.
