Redbud is the small tree everyone loves and nobody plans to remove — magenta flowers straight off bare wood in April, native to Indiana, and one of the standard native swaps being recommended for Callery pear. It ends up on a quote because it is short-lived and dies limb by limb: a 20-year-old redbud will be losing whole branches to canker while the rest of it still blooms beautifully.
