 The catalpa tree is a fantastic shade tree that you do not want to miss! We will ship your own catalpa tree from our family farm right to your door! The great northern catalpa tree is an excellent tree that is not used enough! Many do not know that this tree even exists. These are medium-sized shade trees, that grow massive leaves and grow non-edible seed pods that add a special unique look to the tree. These are moderate to fast-growing and make PERFECT shade trees! This is a tree that demands your attention. White, showy flowers. Giant heart-shaped leaves. Dangling bean-like seed pods. Twisting trunk and branches. How could you not stop to take it in? And with all of these unique features, the northern catalpa is popular with kids as well. Back when I was a child myself, I spent countless hours climbing in my grandma's big catalpa tree! So many fun branches and we always played with the giant leaves and the long seed pods. This tree is a true American native tree. The Northern Catalpa goes by so many different other names as well including but not limited to: Northern Catalpa Tree, Catalpa Speciosa, caterpillar tree, Indian bean tree, cigar tree, catawba tree, western catalpa, hardy catalpa.

All of our trees ship Bareroot which means they will ship with no soil and no pot. This allows the plants to have a safer trip through the mail as well as to cut down on shipping costs majorly. The roots will be carefully removed from the pot they are growing in, and then wrapped in moist material with the roots sealed up to keep them moist during transit.

recently got this tree a while back.. love it so much fast grower

I recently planted the Catalpa tree from Weaver Family Farms Nursery in my backyard, and it's been a joy to watch it grow. The unique leaves and the beautiful blossoms in the spring are truly a sight to behold. It arrived healthy and has been establishing itself well. I'm looking forward to the shade it will provide in the coming years. Kudos to Weaver Family Farms Nursery for providing such a quality tree
