Oklahoma Whitebud

The Oklahoma Whitebud, also known as the Texas Redbud, is a small tree with pure milky white flowers in the spring. Once the flowers bloom, then they are replaced with bluish green, glossy, and heart-shaped leaves. During the fall, the foliage has a yellow-tint. They perform best if moderately fertile soils with regular and consistent moisture; however, please avoid wet or poorly drained soil. It does not transplant well, so plant it while still young and do not move.
