Eastern Whitebud
The heart-shaped leaves of this redbud tree are 3-5" across and its fruit are brown flat pods about 2-3" long.
This small deciduous tree is adaptable to other soil types but will not grow well in permanently wet or poorly drained soil.
The trunk of this small tree usually branches close to the ground resulting in a spreading flat-topped to rounded crown.
It is used as an ornamental or patio tree.
The Eastern Whitebud tree, Cercis canadensis alba, is best known for their profuse white pea-like flowers.

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California. These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids. Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.
