Judas tree flower cluster

What makes this tree (Cercis siliquastrum) special is certainly its luxuriant flowering that first appears on the bark of the trunk and then on the branches. The flowers, in fact, appear on the bare bark even before the leaves and then thicken on the branches until they are completely enveloped.

 

The color of the flowers generally ranges from pink to purple and usually explodes in a floral blaze that lasts only one month: from March to April.
