Catalpa bignonioides Aurea - Golden Indian Bean Tree

Product ref: S10649

Availability: In stock

A spreading tree with large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers at maturity. Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea', also known as the Golden Indian Bean Tree, is dressed in large, heart-shaped leaves in golden-yellow, which emerge with a warm glow in spring, before softening slightly as the season progresses. As a bonus, it also wards off gnats and flies.

Ideal for feature plantings in modern, formal and cottage gardens, it pairs beautifully with underplanting such as hosta to complement its lush canopy. To maximise this tree, plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil and provide shelter from strong winds when young. Low-maintenance once established, it benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove lower growth for a clear stem. Can be kept as a superb large shrub by pruning too.

Supplied as established plants in approx. 5-7 litre containers.

Catalpa bignoides Aurea - Golden Indian Bean Tree

My wife wanted an Indian Bean Tree after seeing one on TV, looking at the internet the prices were £100+, I know the cost is always dependent on the size of the plant, the bigger plants demand a higher price but what you see is not always what you get off the internet. I then saw this website and was surprised at the price, I did not expect a large plant and was a little worried that the plant would be a little worse for wear. When the plant was delivered the packaging was good and I was pleasantly surprised how healthy the tree looked, the size was very acceptable, a great purchase and will definitely use this company again.

Catalpa - absolutely beautiful

My long wanted catalpa tree has finally arrived, in a very good size and a lovely shape. The condition is absolutely great, can't wait to plant it out. Very healthy plant, so glad to finally find it at gardening express for a reasonable price after I got ripped off by another seller and receiving a large specimen advertised as Nana.
