Hi guys....I planted a red bud this spring and it has done wonderfully.....Until now. The leaves have spots on them and they are dry and crisp feeling. What's going on and how do I treat it? If I need to send in a pic, I can do that. Thanks, Angie

My forest pansy redbud is doing the same thing.
I'll see if I can get a photo and maybe then someone will be able to help identify the problem.
Stay tuned!

AKelley and Shearpamela, I have no idea if this is just a nromal part of their seasonal cycle, but redbuds (Cercis canadensis) are very very common around here and the ALL do this around the end of the summer. Both of you are in pretty warm areas and so am I, so perhaps the heat of August disturbs them somewhat. But my two trees just keep right on growing and both of them continue to put on new lovely deep burgundy leaves. Soooo I don't worry about it. Another few months and the leaves will fall anyway and in the spring the buds will appear and then the gorgeous new leaf growth all over again.

Shearpamela......thanks for sending in the pics. My leaves are exactly like that. I'm gonna have to make a note of this or I will be asking the exact same question next year. haha
