This is a redbud leaf. It seems sort of funny to me that the redbud leaves in fall are not red, or pink, or any other reddish shade. Of course, the tree is named for its gorgeous mauve blossoms which pop out all over the tree in spring. This variety is called "Woodland Pansy" and is identifiable by its leaves which start out scarlet, turn maroon as they mature, then turn green as spring gives way to summer. The Woodland Pansy redbud is a highly fashionable tree, for sure, changing her 'look' with each season!
