I recently planted a Lavender twisted weeping redbud bush, the problem is the lower half of the trunk is sprouting beautifully but the top half has nothing growing from it, is there anything I can do?
Uh oh. That sounds like the rootstalk is taking over and the upper part died at some point. You may want to replace it; the rootstalk won't be the same tree.
elsewhere or if I should trim it back down to the ground. It does look healthy and is budding out at this time As?✈️
Generally, tree suckers are removed and discarded. Unless the tree is native, it won't look exactly like the parent.
I have a redbud tree and two crepe myrtle shrubs planted near, or under, the spread of some old mature locust trees. Is the locust causing damage?
Black locust has deep roots that spread and can cause problems for other plants. Some studies also suggest it gives off chemicals that are detrimental to other plants. Also, your trees may not be getting enough sun.

I believe we trimmed our Lavendar weeping redbud back too short one fall because I noticed a new tree growing from the ground right next to the other the next year. At first I thought it was something else but let it grow. The leaves are identical to the other but the stalk is different color. At first I tried to train it to weep but no luck. I trim it way back each fall, but every year it gets taller. So I have one weeping and one tall straight lavender redbud coming out of the ground together. Any advice?
It is likely a sucker and needs to be removed. Always remove any suckers that come from the ground around the tree.

Tree was planted 5 weeks Ago has buds but not leading yet.
About a month will be a good recovery period, as long as it is planted in the proper location. These trees enjoy a bit of shade and do not do well with full sun, dry soils, or too much wind. As long as the proper growing conditions are met, the tree should be making an attempt to break its dormancy.
In the meantime, this article will help you with its care:

i am living in San Diego CA . someone tall me if i want a lots flowers i need to put Ice close to the trunk. if it is true how many time i should do that and what quantity of ice i should put.
There is no need to put ice close to the trunk.
The flowers emerge before the leaves. If the stems are full of flowers, it is doing fine. Here is how to care for your tree:

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.
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.
