Catalpa bignonioides – Nana, Cigar Tree
North America
-
October, November
An ornamental deciduous tree with a spherical crown. Catalpa is a good nectar plant, attracting bees that collect nectar and a small amount of pollen. It has soft but exceptionally durable wood, historically used for railroad ties and telegraph poles, lasting up to 20 years without treatment. Suitable for small gardens as a lawn feature, but its striking crown shape makes it ideal for small avenues or prominent positions at entrances, along pathways, and similar locations.
The fruit is not edible.
The Catalpa produces hanging pods, initially sticky and green, which turn gray-brown as they mature. Cylindrical pods can range from 20 to 40 cm in length, containing numerous small flat seeds with wings, easily dispersed by wind. Mature pods remain on the tree throughout winter.

Resistant to low temperatures and frost under local conditions.
You can purchase seedlings of Globe Catalpa 4-Year at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
