A wonderful introduction with new foliage emerging pink & quickly changing to an intense golden yellow. As summer progresses the early leaves of the Cercis canadensis ' Heart of Gold' gradually change to apple green, whilst new ones keep emerging yellow, & we are presented with a glorious effect of up to three colours. Its hard to miss this Redbud in spring, the customary flowers burst into a cloud of pinkish red.
