Alley Cat Redbud Espalier (Cercis canadensis ‘Alley Cat’)  is a striking cultivar of the Eastern Redbud known for its variegated foliage, but instead of growing like a regular tree, it grows as a vine. It features heart-shaped leaves with a unique green and white mottling, which can also turn yellow in the fall. This tree is also admired for its early spring blooms of lavender-pink, pea-like flowers.
