Catalpa bignonioides,
commonly called Southern catalpa, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree that
typically grows to 30-40’ (less frequently to 60’) tall with an irregular,
broad-rounded crown. It is native to a relatively small area extending from
central Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia south to the Florida panhandle. It
most often occurs in moist soils along streams and river banks. Very broad
leaves (to 10” long and 6” wide) are short-pointed at the tip and rounded or
heart-shaped at the base. Leaves are light green above and pubescent below. Bell-shaped,
fragrant, white flowers (to 1.5” across) with purple and yellow inner markings
bloom in May-June in many-flowered upright panicles (to 10” tall). Flowers are
very ornamental. After flowering, seeds appear in long narrow pods (to 15”
long). Pods mature to dark brown in fall and then split open lengthwise to
release the seeds. A mature, symmetrically rounded catalpa tree can be a tree
of great beauty, particularly in spring when the foliage is young and the
flowers are in bloom. It has been widely planted in urban areas as a street
tree and lawn tree, and can also be effectively used in the landscape for
difficult areas such as moist low spots or dry areas with poor soils. Easily
grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade.
Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions including both wet and dry soils.
Tolerant of seasonal flooding. Prefers moist fertile loams.
Seeds are stored in a refrigerator to maintain viability.
