‘Pink Pom Poms’ is a unique cultivar of Cercis canadensis, offering a floriferous double-flower display unlike any other redbud in the market. Discovered by Alex Neubauer and developed at NC State University, this selection is a cross of ‘Flame’ and likely ‘Oklahoma’ and stands out for its dense clusters of double, reddish-purple blooms that are both showy and sterile—ensuring energy is directed toward vegetative growth and longevity.

This compact tree matures at 13–20 feet tall and wide, making it highly suitable for urban landscapes, specimen use, and high-impact accent plantings. Unlike many redbuds, ‘Pink Pom Poms’ offers thicker, glossier foliage that retains its lush look deep into the season. Its rounded, symmetrical form and rich spring color add designer-grade curb appeal.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, this redbud prefers full sun to partial shade and adapts to a range of soil pH levels. While redbuds can be sensitive to transplanting, establishing them young in the right site results in a rewarding long-term investment.

Growers and retailers will find ‘Pink Pom Poms’ to be a standout addition to ornamental tree programs—especially for customers seeking native appeal with an ornamental twist.
