I have about a half dozen young Catalpas that I started from seed about 4 years ago. These were about 3 ft high last year, and I think they came from the root last year too. Well, I thought that maybe once they reached a certain height, they would stop this and leaf out on the existing trunk. I was wrong, and again this year, they have plenty of new fresh growth appearing from the base, nothing on the existing trunk/stem. Will they ever stop this, or since I received my initial seed from a trade, could the problem be that I have started a "Southern" grown catalpa, and need to start over with new plants??
Looking for some advice from other Catalpa seedling growers. Thanks, Legit
Northern vs: Southern Catalpa
Southern Catapla are not all that hardy, they are only to go to zone 5 with some protection they would come back from the roots. The Northern are safe for zone 4 - they would be what you are looking for. I do not have any Northern to offer but I would take a Southern one or three off your hands if you need a place for them to go... Long story short they should not be coming out from the roots. . .
