Gone with the Wind redbud - Male High School Historical Tree Museum

The "Gone with the Wind" Eastern Redbud tree in this post is growing in the historical tree museum at Louisville, Kentucky's Male High School. The tree is a descendant of a redbud found at the Old Mill in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The mill is displayed during the opening scenes of the famous movie.
