Re: [SG] Cercis `Forest Pansy'

Hi Bobbi,
        I have the species growing around here on the property and also have
Forest Pansy along with the dwarf Texas White, and Oklahoma. Forest Pansy
has the largest leaves of them all. Perhaps the leaves will change, but I
can not for the life of me remember that happening. Right now they are
intensifying in color, not fading to green. Mature tree should be just
slightly smaller than a species for this area.
