What kind of tree has big leaves and white flowers?
Northern Catalpa is a tall shade tree with large, heart-shaped leaves and gorgeous, fragrant white flowers. Long, cigar-like pods persist through winter. This tree could have been the inspiration for the story Jack and the Bean Stalk! As trees begin to bud, Northern catalpa fills its branches with large, up to 12 inch long, light green, heart-shaped leaves that often have a soft pubescent underside.
