    Saw this today at work, Ive never seen a tree like this before or with such big leaves. Leaves were the size of a steering wheel or bigger. I dont think its native to southeast Michigan. I really dont think its a catalpa I saw no seed pods and the leafs were way bigger than any catalpa Ive ever seen.

    I've got several of them. Glad to know what they are. Those big leaves get your attention. Love that Avatar. Go Bucks.
