The Catalpa tree is a deciduous tree native to North America, The Caribbean, and East Asia. It is sometimes called a cigar tree because it produces a long slender fruit that resembles a cigar.
The Catalpa tree prefers full sunlight with moist soil and grows to seventy feet in height. The wood is very soft and the tree is used as shade and bird habitat. It is also grown as food for a caterpillar that is in turn used as bait for sport fishing.
