Catalpa tree. One of my favorites! I have one in my yard that’s about 35 years old. Easy to grow from the seeds in the pods. They have orchid like flowers in early spring.
3 Me gustaAre they used for anything? I have one in much backyard and it would be awesome to know it does something cool.
1 me gustaNot that I know of. Mine drops all its leaves by Halloween and it looks scary at night because of the short branches that look like bony fingers.
2 Me gustaCatalpa pods (minus the seeds) are frequently used in black water aquariums for the tannins
1 me gustaThe pods do stain my driveway and sidewalk! I understand why they use it for dyes!
0 Me gustaSeeds when dried , pop on the cement like pop rock fireworks .
2 Me gustaThat sound so cool 😎 once they dry out I'm going to try that out
