Can you smoke catalpa tree beans?
Of course you can smoke it! I have found that the effects are better though if you let the dried beans soak in a bowl with some apple cider vinegar until it evaporates and dries the bean back out. Don't forget to break the bean into 3 or 4 1 1/2 or 2 inch pieces before soaking. Cut it up fine after the soak, and enjoy the nice smooth flavor!
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.
Is the northern catalpa tree deciduous or coniferous?
Most types of Catalpa are deciduous. None are coniferous.
