Frequently Asked Questions
Heartland® Catalpa is known for its fast growth, often adding several feet per year when young, making it an excellent choice for quick shade.
Yes. The flowers attract pollinators such as bees, and the tree provides shelter and nesting opportunities for birds. The seed pods also add seasonal interest.
Like most Catalpas, it does produce seed pods, but many homeowners find them an appealing ornamental feature rather than a nuisance.
