Life History and Disturbance Response of Cercis canadensis (eastern redbud)

Family: Caesalpiniaceae/Leguminosae

Guild: opportunistic, dispersal limited (large-seeded)

Functional Lifeform: small deciduous tree

Ecological Role: occasional understory component on moist, well-drained sites and fertile bottomlands;
tolerates nutrient deficiencies but grows best when plant competition is limited

Lifespan, yrs (typical/max): 75/90

Shade Tolerance: tolerant

Height, m: 4-8

Canopy Tree: no

Pollination Agent: insects

Seeding, yrs (begins/optimal/declines): 7/20/75

Mast Frequency, yrs: 2

New Cohorts Source: seeds or sprouts

Seed Type/Dispersal Distance/Agent: pod/ variable/ wind, gravity, birds, other animals

Season of Germination: spring

Seedling Rooting System: taproot

Sprouting: stump sprouts and root suckers common

Establishment Seedbed Preferences:

Substrate: mineral soil

Light: overstory shade

Moisture: moist required

Temperature: neutral

Disturbance response:

Fire: Eastern redbud increases where fire is suppressed, and is invading woodlands and former grasslands where fire was once frequent.

However, redbud is also very resilient to fire. Though susceptible to top killing, it vigorously sprouts from adventitious buds in the root collar and from root suckers.

Few or no new seedlings establish on burned sites, particularly those undergoing repeated burning. Prescribed burning has been used to encourage redbud sprouting.
Weather: Redbud is intolerant of flooding.

Air pollution: Redbud is intermediate in sensitivity to ozone and sulphur dioxide.

Symptoms of foliar injury have been noted in areas of high ambient ozone and under fumigation with ozone.
