Looking for a fast-growing tree that stabilizes soil and has multiple uses? Look no further than the Catalpa bignonioides, also known as Southern Catalpa. This medium-sized deciduous tree boasts heart-shaped leaves, trumpet-shaped white flowers with yellow spots, and long, thin bean-like pods. It prefers moist soil and full sun, and is easily grown from seeds or cuttings. Additionally, the wood is coarse and straight-grained, making it ideal for posts, fencing rails, and even cabinet work. The tree is also fairly disease and pest-resistant. Bonus: the Catalpa worms it produces are highly sought after for fishing bait, particularly for catfish! Widely grown as an ornamental tree, the Catalpa bignonioides is a beauty to behold and a valuable addition to any garden or landscape.
