Woodland by the Beach
The star of the back yard is Western Redbud / Cercis occidentalis. It flowers briefly at the end of winter; then heart-shaped leaves appear and turn a soft yellow fall color.

Western Redbud
(Cercis occidentalis syn. Cercis orbiculata)
This water-wise small tree is native to California, Utah and Arizona. Due to its naturally compact size and beautiful leaves, western redbud makes an attractive accent plant in home gardens. The leaves are heart-shaped and bright chartreuse, and it produces pink, pea-like flowers in springtime while branches are bare. Western redbud is a fire-smart choice and well-adapted to arid regions. Trees reach 10 to 18 feet tall and wide but can be kept smaller with pruning.
Where it will grow: Young plants are hardy to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 6.7 degrees Celsius; mature plants are hardy to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 12.2 degrees Celsius (zones 5 to 9)
Water requirement: Moderate; low once established
Light requirement: Full to part sun

Sa couleur pourpre donne de la profondeur au jardin. Plus son feuillage est clair, plus il contribue à agrandir une zone, notamment si elle est un peu sombre et située en fond de terrain.
