Discover the enchanting Manchurian Catalpa (Catalpa bungei), a captivating deciduous tree native to China, reaching heights of up to 35 ft. Known for its stunning floral display, the tree showcases corymbs of densely pink-spotted flowers that bloom from July to August, attracting bees for pollination. Perfectly suited for ornamental use, it thrives in a variety of soils, from sandy to clay, and can tolerate atmospheric pollution, making it ideal for urban landscapes. Hardy to 5°F and thriving in USDA zones 5-9, this tree is a reliable addition to gardens in hot summer climates. The rich wood, commonly referred to as "qui wood" or "chu wood," is prized for its quality, utilized in crafting items like chess tables. More than just a visual delight, Manchurian Catalpa offers medicinal benefits; its stem bark, leaves, and seeds are traditionally used in poultices and to address various ailments. Easily propagated by seeds or softwood cuttings, this versatile tree promises to enhance and enrich your green spaces.
