Don Egolf was the first redbud ever introduced by the US National Arboretum. It was found as a chance seedling from Cercis chinensis from China, and showed a heavy bloom set, compact habit, and good disease resistance. It was named after Dr. Don Egolf, a famous plant breeder at the US National Arboretum.
