Catalpa bignoniodes 'Aurea'
(Indian bean tree)

A spreading tree with light green/yellow leaves

Height: Can grow up to 45ft but in a small garden it responds well to pollarding this keeps the tree to a reasonable size and gives the advantage of larger leaves.

Hardiness: Fully hardy once established.

Propagation: Catalpa bignoniodes is easily grown from seed although I've never come across seeds for 'Aurea'. Softwood cuttings can be rooted in late spring or early summer.

Notes: Very impressive tree particularly when pollarded, leaves can reach over 14inches across.
