Indian bean tree (Catalpa bignonioides)

This is a very fast-growing tree and can take over disturbed areas very quickly. it prefers disturbed areas and does not discriminate on where it can grow. This tree in the photos was off the lincoln road in Birdsboro PA and can be seen on the left as you drive down the road.

The tree is incredibly invasive in my area and has become a real problem often taking uproot where ash trees used to be and because of this, I am adding it to the tour.
