The Judas tree, scientifically known as Cercis siliquastrum, is named after the biblical figure Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus. According to one legend, it is said that the tree's heart-shaped leaves and pink flowers were once white, but turned to their current color after Judas hanged himself from one of its branches. The association with betrayal and the tragic story of Judas contributed to the tree's evocative name.
