Is my Rising Sun Redbud salvageable? #877420

Asked July 16, 2024, 8:10 AM EDT

I have a Rising Sun Redbud that I planted 2.5 years ago.  I'd already had a couple branches die and break last year, and now this large part broke during a storm last night.  Is the tree salvageable at all? I feel like it would look scrawny and I'm concerned it will not fill out any further.  Full Sun. Northern Indiana zone 5b. Including before and after photos.

Hi Jill,


I would recommend contacting your Purdue Extension County agent or a local urban forester.  This question was assigned to me in Maryland so it is a little out of my geographic region.  Good luck!
