Catalpa bignonioides ‘Aurea’ is a striking deciduous tree grown primarily for its bold, golden-yellow foliage. In spring, the large, heart-shaped leaves emerge a vivid yellow, gradually softening to yellow-green as the season progresses, creating a bright focal point in the garden. In early summer, mature trees may also produce panicles of creamy white, lightly marked flowers, followed by long, slender seed pods in autumn. With its broad, rounded crown and architectural leaf shape, ‘Aurea’ works best as a specimen tree in lawns or spacious borders, where its foliage colour and form can be fully appreciated.
