Why Northern Catalpa (Catalpa Speciosa)?

One of the species of Catalpa that is native to the United States, Catalpa speciosa, may be found throughout the middle and western parts of the United States. The Northern Catalpa, Western Catalpa, catawba tree, tough Catalpa, cigar tree, and Bois chavanon are all common names for this tree. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree with a trunk (diameter of up to 1 meter) and a bark that, as it matures, turns from brown to gray to become stiff plates or ridges.

Hummingbirds often nectar on the blooms and it offers early summer bees a source of nourishment.

The long, slender seed pods that follow are a unique and visually interesting feature of the tree.

It also provides valuable habitat and food resources for birds and other wildlife.

Fertilization

Fertilization

It is generally recommended to wait to fertilize a bare root plant until it has been established in the ground and is actively growing. This can vary depending on the type of plant and the growing conditions, but it is generally best to wait at least a few weeks to a few months after planting.

During the first year, you should focus on providing the plant with the right amount of water, sunlight and soil to help it become established. Once the plant has become established and is actively growing, you can begin to fertilize it.

You can use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or one that is specifically formulated for the type of plant you have. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package and apply it at the recommended rate.

It is also important to note that over-fertilizing can be harmful to plants, so it's always best to error on the side of caution and start with a lower amount of fertilizer and increase as needed.
