Kay, as soon as I can survey the situation, I shall consider what
you are suggesting. Branches on this kind of redbud never grow 
strong. They are too flexible and too thin and too long, with giant
heart-shaped leaves lifting and dropping the branches all the time.  
They appear to be a hazardous variety of show tree to plant, which
is a pity because they fill their space magnificently.
