Washington Hawthorn vs Northern Catalpa (Cigar Tree)Crataegus phaenopyrum Catalpa speciosa ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT
Washington Hawthorn is an attractive ornamental shrub that is dense enough to plant as a privacy screen. It produces clusters of white blooms in late spring to early summer.
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. WASHINGTON HAWTHORN QUICK FACTSNORTHERN CATALPA (CIGAR TREE) QUICK FACTS
