What is a catalpa tree?
Catalpa is a family of beautiful late-summer flowering trees mostly low and spreading in habit. Older trees bear panicles of foxglove like flowers . Do not plant in exposed areas as the large leaves will shred with the wind. The variety bignonioides, the Indian Bean tree is one of the best.
Can you start a catalpa tree from the seeds within the bean?
I haven't tried to grow a catalpa from seed. However, the way that catalpa seedlings grow abundantly near mature trees I have observed--both in eastern and western Massachusetts--suggest they grow easily. My theory is that snow plowing has a lot to do with getting the beans buried and off to the sides of roads or parking lots, where they manage to grow without interference from lawn mowers or other controlled landscaping.
