Tullahoma Posted May 10, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 10, 2011 I saw something similar on a Redbud tree in my neighbor's yard earlier this Spring. The blooms were growing down the larger branches, almost on the surface of the bark. I was surprised, but did not investigate it. I just checked my files, and I failed to get an image of it. Jim N.

albert Posted May 11, 2011 Share #7 Posted May 11, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, I'm pretty sure that the mystery has been solved. If you do a google-search of The Eastern redbud you will find numerous references and photographs of their flowers growing out of their bark. Cercis canadensis L.
