Northern Catalpa
Catalpa Speciosa
This fast growing tree has few branches at an early age. Once branched, ascending limbs are gnarled and twisted. In June, 2″ long, tube-like white flowers appear in 4-8″ panicles. Fruit is a long persistent pod. Great for xeriscapes, it is very tolerant and adaptable.
