These fragrant flowers even attract all sorts of butterflies and birds. It is a beautiful site to see!

In the summer, the Catalpa's large, heart-shaped leaves offer cool shade for your home.

Then, when the leaves fall in winter, more sunlight passes through, which can heat your home during the coldest months... when you need it most. Plus, these big leaves are quick and easy to clean up.

It's Easy to Plant your Catalpa Tree
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Catalpa Tree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Catalpa Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Catalpa Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

By: D Had

I grew up with this tree in the back yard of my parents home. (I now live there) It is a beautiful 50 ft. tree. It gets its leaves a lot later than the other trees, but when it does it's spectacular. The leaves are about 10" across & in the shape of a heart. It gets really pretty white patunia shaped flowers. They do make a mess when they fall off but it's worth it. It also gets these skinny banana shaped things in the fall. When the leaves fall off at the end of the season they do make a pretty good mess too because they ae so big, but it's all worth it. I have people all the time asking me what kind of tree it is because it's so magnificant. You won't be disappointed in it.
