They are also known as “popcorn” trees; they look, when they are 1/2 open, like strings of popcorn dangling in the tree: the redbuds should start to open this next week after the rains and warmer weather on the way. We had light thunderstorms at 5:30AM this mornng, that dropped a little over a tenth of an inch of rain with much more coming later today and Saturday:
