Cercis siliquastrum
Judas Tree
The Judas Tree (Cercis siliquastrum) is a small, deciduous tree with clusters of rosy-pink pea-shaped flowers appearing directly on older wood in spring. Heart-shaped leaves follow, turning yellow in autumn, and decorative pods extend the season of interest. Drought resistant and valued by pollinators, it thrives in sunny Irish gardens. So if you’re searching for a wildlife-friendly tree with spring character, this is one to plant.
