C. linearis (Desert Willow) is native to Western North America. Catalpa is native to the southeastern United States. Deciduous, 25-35\u2019 x 30\u2019. Chitalpa generally remains below 25\u2019 in height. Fast growing (36\u201d\/year). Makes showy flowers over a long bloom period. Requires good drainage. Susceptible to root rot. Blooms best in full sun, when it receives moderate moisture. It becomes taller in half shade. Root damage potential is low. Wildlife uses the fruit. This is a small flowering accent tree, especially useful in riparian or native garden settings, usually multi trunked or low-branching. We will be offering standard trees. Caution: this tree is not suitable as a patio tree, as it continually drops a lot of litter \u2013 dried flowers, leaves, and in the fall, fruits.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/altadenaheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tree-selections_11.jpg” title_text=”tree-selections_11″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Handroanthus Heptaphyllus<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Tabebuia heptaphyllus) Pink Trumpet Tree.
