Report an issue with this species
Chitalpa is an intergeneric cross between Catalpa bignonioides and Chilopsis linearis. It is an unusual small flowering accent tree, especially useful in riparian or native garden settings, usually multi-trunked or low-branching. It blooms best in full sun, when it receives moderate moisture, though it grows taller in half shade. Its grayish-white bark presents an interesting silhouette in winter with its bare branches.
