Neat! I haven't seen them on the trunk of the tree either. We have two younger redbuds (Cercis canadensis) that have grown quite a bit in the past couple years. I'm hoping for some good blooms this spring. I'll try to get a photo if I remember.I know this is probably not unique, but I have never seen it before, so it's unique to my mind. This is an Oklahoma red bud tree blooming now:

Wonder if the trunk blooms will produce seed pods.I know this is probably not unique, but I have never seen it before, so it's unique to my mind. This is an Oklahoma red bud tree blooming now:

Does your tree produce seeds from the other blooms?It hasn't in the past
Now that you mention it, no it doesn't (thank goodness - it's in the desert tortoise yard).Does your tree produce seeds from the other blooms?
Wow Yvonne, what a beautiful bloom! The color is gorgeous. I wonder if I can grow that here in zone 9? Living in the high desert definitely has its perks but I find it is very difficult to grow plants and trees. One major reason being the little turds who come along and eat everything, Doesn't matter how well I protect it with tree ring fencing, pot it so it is up off the ground, the little critters (Mice etc) manage to find it and eat every last bit of it.I know this is probably not unique, but I have never seen it before, so it's unique to my mind.
