Catalpa Umbrella "Nana"

Catalpa bignonioides ‘Nana’ (Umbrella Catalpa) is a unique, grafted tree valued for its dense, rounded canopy that forms a distinctive umbrella shape atop a straight trunk. This compact, bushy form creates a bold architectural feature in the landscape, ideal for adding structure, shade, and visual interest without the mess of flowers or seed pods, as it rarely blooms. Tough, adaptable, and easy to maintain, it thrives in full sun and tolerates a range of soil conditions, making it well-suited for urban environments and residential gardens alike. Growing up to about 30 feet tall, it serves as a reliable and time-tested specimen tree for both formal and informal landscapes.
