FWIW, redbud is the common name for a rather desirable small ornamental

And *very* easy to kill.

How do I kill it?

I should have quoted all of Pam's msg. Your problem is not with Cercis
canadensis (Eastern redbud), which is susceptible to several
tree-killing diseases. Mine was the most expensive item in a
landscaping plan, and just got sicker and sicker until it died. Even
the ag college couldn't diagnose its problem.
