Nana Catalpa Tree
We have an umbrella Catalpa tree, which is about 50 years old. It does not flower and is only about 15 feet tall. A shoot has grown up at the base of the tree (last year), which is now taller than the original tree, and seems to have reverted to original catalpa form. The tree is not doing well. What should be done? The tree burns badly in August here in Texas and we thought perhaps the shade would be good.

Your 50 year old catalpa should certainly be higher than 15 feet, even if it's a golden one. The new shoot may have come off the root stock if the tree was grafted; I suggest you cut down the old tree and see
how the new one develops-I doubt you could move it at this stage to a more shaded site, which would be ideal.

Cutting Catalpa Tree Beans Off
Can I cut the beans off the Catalpa tree without causing any harm to it? It would be so much easier to clean by cutting before they dry, drop their beans then fall to the ground.

Catalpa Tree
My catalpa tree bark is starting to peel off. It’s about 15 years old. Is this normal? It’s never done this before and buds on branches are starting to show.

Catalpa Tree Has No Blooms
Why is it that my 5 year old Catalpa tree has no blooms? I planted it from seed. It is in the shade. I live on Hilton Head Island. It is 30 ft and full of leaves.
