My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is my Eastern Redbud ok?

4 years ago

I had this redbud planted last May and the redbuds here are now blooming. My tree is blooming heavily with the exception of a section of several small branches on the lower right hand side of the tree in this picture. Hoping they will leaf out but concerned these branches are dead. If they are, is that an ominous sign? Should I prune them this summer or wait? I'm in Zone 5 (Chicago). Thanks for the help!
