Cercis canadensis 'JN16', known as Black Pearl, is a striking deciduous tree prized for its exceptionally dark, heart-shaped foliage. The leaves emerge as a deep purple-black and retain their rich color even in summer heat. In early spring, clusters of lavender-pink flowers appear on bare branches, creating a vivid contrast. Reaching 15 to 20 feet, this compact tree is perfect for small gardens or as a focal point. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, offering a sophisticated, low-maintenance landscape solution.
