The exact selection, 'Pink Pom Poms', is a female, essentially sterile redbud that produces few or no seed pods.

Leave room for a broad canopy and avoid tight spaces beneath low branches. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun in moist, well-drained soil. The [breeder's grower guide](https://starrosesandplants.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Cercis_PinkPompom_GrowerGuide.pdf) gives a size of 12½ feet high by 12 feet wide at eight years, spring bloom, and USDA zones 5–9. Keep moisture even during establishment and avoid poorly drained soil. ## Maintenance Very light shaping can be done before new growth starts; remove dead or crossing branches as needed. Allow fallen flowers and leaves to break down naturally or clear them from paths and patios.
