Indian Bean Tree 1 x Tree

Recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society Large white horse-chestnut like flowers in summer Happy in the ground or a large container Get a Catalpa bignonioides Aurea Indian Bean Tree for your outdoor space for a rare and exotic-looking tree that is full hardy in the UK. The leaves come out in spring as delicate red hearts and develop over the spring and summer into a charming buttery yellow. In July and August your Indian Bean Tree comes into bee-attracting flower with house-chestnut like candelabra blooms and these then turn into pods that reach over 30cm (12in) in length to extend the display. You can plant your 10 litre tree directly in the ground with lots of well-rotted manure incorporated into the soil and it will reach 10m (32ft) in 10-15 years. You can grow Indian Bean Tree in a large container with soil rich in nutrients which will keep its height in check to a more manageable 2-3m (6 ½-10ft) high.
