This is a very FAST growing tree!!! The Southern Catalpa tree is a common fixture along roadsides and in old yards. The big green leaves and distinctive long dangling fruits are noticeable from hundreds of yards. Although used in the past for a variety of wood-based products, today catalpa is used for shade trees and for growing a special caterpillar. This catalpa worm is prized by fishing enthusiast across the South. Large, showy white, trumpet-shaped flowers grace the Catalpa in late spring. Its narrow crown is oval-shaped or uneven, upright with distinctively large, heart-shaped, bright green leaves and long, bean-like pods. Withstands wet, dry, alkaline soils and hot, dry environments, but prefers moist, deep soil. Sun or partial shade. Grows to 40'-60' with a 20'-40' spread.
