Catalpa bignonioides 'Nana' (Bungei) - Multi Stem

Catalpa bignonioides 'Nana', also known as Bungei, is an excellent deciduous tree that can be used to provide privacy by screening your garden and house from unwanted views or neighbours. These trees are often grown as standards or to about 6 feet high where the canopy begins. By planting them tightly against your fence, they create a 'hedge in the air' effect with the canopy starting at fence height. Compared to planting a hedge, these Catalpa trees save space in your garden as they do not have any foliage from the ground up to the canopy. Their canopies can be pruned once a year to keep them in a compact shape, providing privacy without taking up too much space or light. These deciduous trees will screen from spring to autumn. Catalpa bignonioides 'Nana' is a small, bushy tree with large, deciduous, heart-shaped leaves that turn yellow in autumn. It does not produce flowers or seed pods, unlike its larger relatives. They can be grown as standalone trees or trained to grow in small gardens or containers.
