CAROL LINK: Native redbud tree among first plants to bloom in spring I am partial to native plants. Each spring, when Oscar and I trek about the hills of our property behind our home, looking for oak leaf hydrangeas and trillium to transplant in our garden, we occasionally find a few surprises. Among the native plants growing on the hill behind our home is the native Eastern redbud tree (cercis Canadensis).
