Just planted 8 around my to be pond and 4 more on the hunting lease.
Hoping for a bunch of worms in a few years.
LOL!
Want catalpa trees, this is the way to get them....
Decide where you want a fence and cut catalpa trees for post. Dry them really good, so they wont sprout. Build your fence bull strong, pig tight, and horse high. Wait till next spring and watch the 'post' green out with leaves. In 4 or 5 years your fence will be no good..... but you'll have the the best stand of catalpa trees around.
