The Cercis canadensis 'Little Woody,' often referred to as the Canadian Redbud, is the smallest variety of its kind. It reaches a height and spread of up to 2 meters, making it a fantastic choice for adding greenery to compact spaces like small gardens, terraces, or balconies. Its distinctive flared shape adds charm to any landscape. In the spring, this plant truly comes alive with an abundance of small pink-violet flowers that bloom in clusters along the bare branches and trunk. Developed through American breeding, the 'Little Woody' is exceptionally resilient, able to tolerate a range of temperatures.
