This is not a tree one would think would do well in Wyoming. We felt the same way until we found a 100 year old gorgeous Redbud doing just fine in Casper. It’s now in the treed area of Casper but it wasn’t a treed area back then! This handsome, small flat-topped tree is one of the earliest trees to bloom in the spring with long-lasting magenta-pink blossoms on bare stems before leaves appear. Heart shaped leaves change to golden yellow in autumn. This is not a tree for prairie wind swept conditions! But if you have protection from the winds, consider this tree. We guarantee you no one in your neighborhood has one!
