Plant Finder - Indian Bean Tree - Catalpa bignonioides
 Indian Bean Tree
 Catalpa bignonioides
Originating from the USA and incorrectly named this plant also goes by the name Southern Catalpa. The Indian reference refers to the native American tribe Catawba after who the plant should have been named and the bean reference refers to the seed pods on the plant. However you choose to refer to the plant it is an exceptional addition to any garden. 
With the ability to grow in many soils, its attractive foliage and shape make it the perfect ornamental plant. Catalpa will thrive in many conditions however in cooler places the seeds may not readily reproduce themselves so cuttings may need to be taken when required.
