Indian Bean Tree | Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea'

Golden foliage with fragrant summer blooms.

The Highlights

    • Bright yellow leaves, perfect for bringing a splash of colour to your garden
    • Large, heart-shaped, velvety foliage begins with a bronze shade and develops into a clear yellow, turning yellow/green in late summer
    • For smaller spaces, your Indian Bean Tree can be cut back and grown as a multi stem, which will develop even bigger leaves
    • As the tree matures, creamy white, foxglove-like flowers with purple and yellow spotted throats appear in June/July, followed by long, slender seed pods
    • Grows up to 12x10m
    • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
    • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
