Grow an Edible Landscape: The Eastern Redbud

Do you want to grow a yard you can eat? The Eastern Redbud tree is an excellent choice! The flowers are edible - they taste great on a salad! It's a legume - a Nitrogen fixer, so it requires little (if any) fertilizer. It is native to nearly the entire Eastern United States. It grows well in shade. It grows to about 25 feet in the Midwest United States. The Eastern Redbud, Cercis canadensis, is a must have for a sustainable landscape. In this video, I describe the Eastern Redbud, show the flower details, and eat a few of them. For more details on the Eastern Redbud, visit http://plantplaces.com/perl/viewplant...
