I'm sure an expert in redbuds will be along and give you a good explanation. According to this document, that is why they are called redbuds. http://www.caes.uga.edu/extension/cobb/anr/Documents/redbudt... Quote from the document: "Redbuds receive their name from the dark maroon color of their buds, but most people will remember the tree in bloom." |
