Tree ID please

Looks like catalpa. Good for shoulder season. Volumous with the ash like silver maple.

 

Thx bud Eric VW -Like I said, it's snobbery cause I can-I feel for our brethren who don't have access to hardwoods but they seem to make out just fine and I am happy for them...here where I am, poplar is a dime a thousand cords, pine is an after thought and I make it without it...glad others put it to good use...I appreciate my brethren here, I appreciate all

 

That sir, is prophetic...I revel in this moment because we do, indeed, appreciate all this forum brings forth...it is a kindred spirit of like minds...and I am glad I am here and have found like minds=good peeps...nothing but!

 

I'm saying Catalpa. No doubt the biggest I've ever saw. But, I'm sticking with that guess. God Bless

 

I like 'em. The worms are good fish bait. God Bless

 

They are all over NW Ohio. Way bigger than that too. Cities used to use them in treelawns. Rural folks used them to line their drive because they're fast growing. Now they're a nuisance/weed tree

 

36+ inch is common around here

 

Uh yeah, the ones here are mini redwoods. Quite beautiful and fragrant when in bloom too. They look like an orchid almost.



Here's a full of a northern catalpa tree in bloom


The southern catalpa, or bean tree, is pretty much the same appearance.

 

My mother planted a catalpa in the yard, my dad was not happy but he was out ranked, PITA tree
