The Northern Catalpa is a bold, fast-growing shade tree with enormous heart-shaped leaves and a commanding, picturesque presence. In early summer, large showy clusters of white, orchid-like flowers cover the canopy, followed by the long, slender seed pods that give it the nickname “cigar tree.” Reaching a grand size, it casts deep, cooling shade over lawns and open spaces. Plant it in full sun, where it adapts to a wide range of soils and conditions. Its dramatic texture and summer flowers make it a memorable specimen. For fast shade with show-stopping blooms, the Northern Catalpa delivers.
