Hmnn, chopped one into little bits 4-5 years ago. Never knew it had any value as lumber. Pretty soft and low btu’s. It’s mixed in with next years tulip supply. Sooo, what do I win, what do I win? Warning, I’m already inundated with Jack Assparagus of the year trophies.
How do they burn? I've heard they're native to where I live but have never seen any in the woods by me. I only ever see them in people's yards or on big farms as shade trees.
Way to go jo191145 I didnt even realize these grew "wild" around here. Ive only seen them in landscaped areas around buildings. There was a TD bank that had them and id pick up some of the pods in the Fall
I considered Catalpa, but I had a catalpa tree on my property many years ago, but the bark on mine was more deeply furrowed. A picture of the bean pods would've helped haha!
They are real soft like a caterpillar. Pinch the head off, start the butt on the point of the hook and they just sorta invert as you push them on. Never tried that with a red wiggler, red worm, or night crawler.
Milled some catulpa about 20 couple years ago. Made the wife a storage bench for the mud / laundry room. Turned out nice. It is a little soft. A lot like sassafras or butternut.
