Catalpa Bignoides - Evergreen Trees Direct

PLANT PROFILE

Catalpa bignonioides (Southern Catalpa or Indian Bean Tree) is a fast-growing, deciduous tree with large heart-shaped leaves and striking white flowers marked with purple and yellow. It forms an upright, oval to pyramidal canopy that provides excellent shade and a lush, eye-catching presence in gardens, parks, and streetscapes.

They look excellent as a feature tree where bold foliage and seasonal floral display add character. This tree adapts well to urban conditions and various soils, combining low maintenance with good drought tolerance once established.

Mature Height: 8m - 15m Approximately

Mature Width: 6m – 12m

Approx. 60 – 100 cm per year

  • Fast Growth Rate

Hedging & Screening: Not suitable due to broad canopy.

Feature Tree: Space 4 m – 6 m apart to showcase its dramatic leaves and spreading shape.

Avenue Planting Trees: Plant 6 m – 8 m apart for bold avenue structure.

Select an Ideal Location: Choose a location with well-draining soil and access to full sun or partial shade.

Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is adequately prepared, free from weeds, and enriched with organic matter if needed.

Dig a Planting Hole: Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and 2-3 times as wide.

Position the Tree: Place Catalpa bignonioides in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.

Backfill with Soil: Fill the hole with soil, gently tamping it down to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly: Water the tree generously after planting to aid in soil settlement.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
