Engelmann Spruce vs Northern Catalpa (Cigar Tree)Picea engelmannii Catalpa speciosa SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Engelmann Spruce is a tall, cold resistant tree native to western North America. This high-altitude mountain tree has characteristic loose, scaly bark ranging in colour from reddish-brown to grey.
Northern Catalpa is a striking feature tree with showy flowers, and very large leaves. Its orchid-like flowers are white with yellow and purple accents, and they have a pleasant fragrance. They bloom from late spring to early summer and can last up to two weeks, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. The leaves are very large, ranging from 15-30 cm long, 12-20 cm wide, forming a canopy that makes it a good shade tree. ENGELMANN SPRUCE QUICK FACTSNORTHERN CATALPA (CIGAR TREE) QUICK FACTS
