The Cercis chinensis ‘Shirobana’, known as the Shirobana Chinese Redbud Tree, is a rare and enchanting ornamental tree that delivers a stunning floral display in spring. Unlike most redbuds, this variety produces both white and pink pea-like blossoms on the same tree, covering bare branches before the foliage appears. With its compact size, rounded shape, and multi-season appeal, it’s a perfect choice for smaller gardens, patios, and feature planting schemes.
