Growing the Northern Catalpa Tree

About the Northern Catalpa Tree

After spending the first seven years in the ground growing, Northern Catalpa (Catalpa speciosa) trees will start to produce large flowers in May and June that are extremely fragrant. They can also develop twisted trunks over the years. They have spear-shaped leaves that can get to be as big as one foot long, and they have seed pods on them as long as 20 inches. Those seed pods will need to be cleaned up periodically when you have Northern Catalpa trees on your property. You’ll also see hummingbirds, bees, and Catalpa sphinx moths populating the trees as they grow.
