Tree is seemingly healthy otherwise, 4 years old, transplanted
when about 4 ft hi.
I don't have other facts

I'd mainly be worried about it hardening off properly for winter. Redbuds are at their limit of hardiness in z5 usually.

Is it just the flowers blooming, or are the leaf buds opening up too?

Obviously if the leaves are budding... well, that tree could be in big trouble.

Its never happened before?

As you can see in the tree, buds aren't open.
Close up on a plate shows unopened also.
Been mid 30s the last few nights, buds are falling in the breeze

I know this is an old thread, but my forest pansy is doing this right now. What ever happened to yours? I see flower buds on one branch that dropped leaves already. Very strange...

Been in the ground for 2 years now, about 8 or so feet tall.

Both red bud trees did fine this season ( 2015 ) Smaller one turned into a bush that I selected 1 main and cut the rest away. Here it is the end of October and both trees are showing bright green leaves, although the larger one has zillions of seed pods. We are happy about them

Thanks for the updates. I have not seen this on any of mine.

More generally, occasionally, spring/early-summer-flowering shrubs and trees will do this. Not exactly sure why, but our increasingly lengthy fall seasons seem to have something to do with it. Leastways where I live, fall lasts much longer than it used to, most years.

Here in Houston, TX one of my redbuds is now flowering. Hoping I don't lose it. Sure would like to know why??

11/28– my rising sun red bud has buss AND new leaves! It’s thoroughly confused lol I hope it’ll be ok for the spring

Look into dicamba. The naboring farmer drifted my yard with dicamba and I am seeing the same symptoms in all of my trees.
