Redbud: Edible Beauty
My redbud is in full bloom right now, and April is the perfect time to take those tiny pink blossoms and add them to a salad. They are quite edible and add a unique splash of spring color to a green salad. Watch for the young green pod that will form later on the tree. These are also edible and can be cooked and used as you would snow peas!

I had not idea redbud was edible! And the pods? Wow, I'll be down for spring salad sometime this week, ha-ha.
