Cercis siliquastrum
Judas tree
The Cercis is a real stunner in spring time when the vivid pink flowers start to shoot from the tree. The leaves come out after flowering and are a rather attractive heart shape. This tree will like a warm south facing spot in the garden. The more warmth it gets the more flower shoots you'll get the following spring.
