Catalpa bignonioides
Indian Bean Tree

Catalpa, commonly known as the Indian Bean Tree, is a fast-growing deciduous ornamental tree valued for its bold, tropical-looking foliage and attractive flowers. It features large, heart-shaped green leaves that create dense shade, making it an excellent choice for gardens, parks, and avenues.

In late spring to early summer, Catalpa produces showy clusters of creamy-white, trumpet-shaped flowers marked with yellow and purple spots, which attract bees and other pollinators. After flowering, the tree develops long, slender, bean-like seed pods, giving rise to its common name.

Catalpa is hardy and adaptable, tolerating a wide range of soil types and urban conditions. It prefers full sun to partial shade and requires minimal maintenance once established. Due to its striking appearance and rapid growth, the Indian Bean Tree is widely planted as a shade tree and ornamental feature in landscapes.
