Catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides)


The arboretum's two catalpas will have pretty flowers for the next couple of weeks. Some flowers are already open; others are still developing. Go check them out!

A panicle stretches out from the surrounding big green leaves.

Flowers are opening and yet we still see last year's fruits!
Catalpas have persistent fruits. Pods are split open, revealing the seeds.
