Catalpa
Catalpa speciosa
Catalpa is a bold, fast-growing native tree that makes an immediate and lasting impression in the landscape with its extraordinarily large, heart-shaped leaves and showy upright clusters of white, orchid-like flowers with purple and yellow markings that appear in late spring. Growing 40–60 feet tall with a broad, irregular canopy, it casts deep, tropical-feeling shade that transforms any space beneath it into a cool summer retreat. Come fall, its distinctive long, slender seed pods add a further element of curiosity and character that makes this tree truly unforgettable.
