Healthy 4 Year Old Redbud Leaves Don’t Turn Red

Question

Some but few leaves may turn a slight and partial reddish color but 90% of the tree leaves stay green from early spring through fall.

Answer 1

There are very few Redbuds that actually turn red. The name comes from the buds and young growth, which will be a reddish color.

If you have purchased a cultivar that is known to be red, then try giving it a little more sun. This shade tree will develop more color under stress, at the cost of its already short lifespan.
