Our temps were down to below zero last week & the trees still grow here.

The two North American species, Catalpa bignonioides (southern catalpa) and Catalpa speciosa (northern catalpa), have been widely planted outside their natural ranges as ornamental trees for their showy flowers and attractive shape, or growing habit. Northern and southern catalpas are very similar in appearance, but the northern species has slightly larger leaves, flowers, and bean pods. Flowering starts after 275 growing degree days. Catalpa ovata from China, with pale yellow flowers, is also planted outside its natural range for ornamental purposes.

Mostly deciduous trees, they typically grow to 39–59 ft tall and 20–39 ft
wide. A 10-year-old sapling will stand about 20 ft tall. There are several here locally grown in NW Arkansas that are over 100 years old. They are beautiful trees, with showy flowers and heart shaped leaves.
