ENGLISH
Cercis siliquastrum, commonly known as Judas Tree, is a small deciduous tree from Southern Europe and Western Asia which is noted for its prolific display of deep-pink flowers in spring. In Spain is also know as "love tree" beause the pink colour of its flowers and the heart shape of its leafs.

The species is native to Western Asia, including Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey and Southern Europe including Albania, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy and Yugoslavia.

There is a longstanding myth that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from a tree of this species. This belief is related to the common name "Judas Tree" which is possibly a corrupted derivation from the French common name, Arbre de Judée meaning tree of Judea, referring to a region where the tree occurs.

--------------------------------

CASTELLANO
El Cercis siliquastrum es una especie de la familia de las leguminosas Fabaceae. Es nativo de la zona mediterránea, en el sur de Europa y suroeste de Asia, está presente en España, sur de Francia, Italia, Grecia y Asia Menor.

Las flores son hermafroditas, con una corola papilionácea de color rosa-lila. Son de 1-2 cm de longitud y se agrupan en racimos de 3-6 flores. Se encuentran reunidas en racimos que aparecen antes que las hojas, en marzo-abril sobre las ramas donde antes había hojas, lo cual es una característica de esta especie, es cauliflora, las flores pueden salir directamente de la corteza de las ramas y el tronco. El nombre común en castellano de árbol del amor viene del color rosa de sus flores y de la forma de corazón de las hojas.

Su llegada a Europa tuvo lugar en la época de las cruzadas (año 1200) y su primer destino fue Francia. Desde ese momento su extensión por el continente fue muy rápida. Apareció frecuentemente en los herbarios del sigo XVI y XVII.

Se dice que de este pequeño y poco ramificado árbol se ahorcó Judas Iscariote después de traicionar a Cristo, por ello se le da el nombre de árbol de Judéa o de Judas. Aún qué en la biblia se dice que de un higuero.
