Catalpa Bignonioides – Indian beam tree 45ltr CEPPAIA

CATALPA BIGNONIOIDES 45 LTR  H 200 + CM CEPPAIA

This tree is an interesting specimen that produces very large, bright green fleshy leaves late in the spring and an exotic, orchid-like, trumpet-shaped pink-white flower in midsummer.

It is one of the very last trees to come into leaf in the spring, so do beware not to panic if your tree is not showing too many signs of life when all other trees are well advanced!

As the common name suggests, the Indian Bean Tree produces large, dark “beans” in the autumn, similar in look to vanilla pods. These beans remain on the tree for most of the winter months, giving it a slightly angry appearance , will thrive on most soil conditions, however it is best avoided in windy or hard paved areas, as the fleshy leaves can become damaged if subjected to excessive wind or heat.

The Indian Bean Tree is a common garden favorite in the UK. It can be produced as a multi-stem or single-trunk specimen.  well suited to planting in gardens where they develop well above head height rather than taking up lateral space as the multi-stemmed versions can become very wide.

It is a useful garden tree, although it can grow to a reasonable height at maturity if it is not managed.

Mature height: 12-17m
