Catalpa speciosa

Nice tree named after the 'Catapult' machine because it will lay siege on your house and family.
Site Requirements: Requires moist, well drained soil like next to your septic tank. Only plant in ground when house is adjacent to golf course or large public park.
Ht: 60 - 80 feet
Width: 40 - 50 feet
Caution comments: Do not picnic under the catapult tree..brittle wood. Do not allow tree to grow-out of pot.
Plus comments: Considered by many to be a 'weedy' tree.
