Lavender Twist Redbud Tree - Growth Update - August 2026
Back around the border of the fire pit is a Redbud Tree. I originally planted a weeping Lavender Twist Redbud tree in 2020, but it came cracked-in-half . It came back alive, but I'm not sure if the tree was grafted or not, which means that the trunk was some other kind of tree. I also sort-of lost track of where this tree was planted, because back in 2020, I planted it along the fence . But...today....as I mentioned in the first sentence, we have a Redbud tree around the firepit. I also have a memory of this tree getting stomped by some tree guys. However, it has persisted. And, grown. And, it *is* weeping. But, now it is a multi-trunk tree. However, it is arching up and out (over the lawn and the firepit) and has taken on a nice shape. I haven't documented this tree in the [tree diary], so I thought it was about time.
