The Indian Bean Tree, also known as Catalpa bignonioides ‘Aurea’, is a beautiful specimen that works well in many spaces. It flourishes in any soil type. Although, the Catalpa Aurea does prefer full shelter from strong winds.
It features pretty panicles of white flowers which emerge in summer, often followed by a display of slender bean-like pods which hang pendulously. The oversized, heart-shaped leaves are a striking buttery yellow colour and make a fantastic backdrop for the floral display in summer.
The fresh foliage emerges bronze and matures to dazzling yellow, before fading to a golden green colour in late summer. This ever changing display provides great visual interest during the summer months.
Ensure that you protect this deciduous tree from strong winds and from late frosts as young leaves can be susceptible to damage.
Reaching a height of around 5 metres and a spread of up to 4 metres, the Catalpa Aurea will work well in many different spaces. Plus, it’s rounded growth habit ensures that you can use it within a mixed planting scheme.
Enjoy the yellow tinged colours summer after summer with the Indian Bean Tree.

Here at Mail Order Trees, getting your trees and plants to you quickly and in perfect condition is our top priority. A great feature of our specially designed cardboard boxes is that they are 100% recyclable, which will help to reduce your carbon footprint even further. We have a standard flat rate charge of £9.95 per consignment (including VAT) to England and Wales so the more you buy, the more you save! Prices for Scotland, Grampian, the Highands can be calculated in the checkout area. Unfortunately we are unable to ship to any other locations aside from these. This means we do not ship to Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland/Ireland and any Scottish Islands.
Our usual delivery time is up to 7-10 working days. We will, as ever, aim to stick to our usual timescale but please be aware that this may not always be possible.
Please take the time to fill out the special instructions box in the checkout area with the details of a neighbour or safe place that your trees can be left. Every effort will be made to make deliveries in this time or on a date requested by you. Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for delayed deliveries due to factors beyond our control such as Public Holidays or adverse weather conditions which make it impossible to lift bare-rooted trees. In cases such as these, you will be notified.
We can only deliver to physical addresses and not to PO boxes. A complete address including correct postcode must be provided. Incorrect postcodes cause more delays than omitting the postcode altogether. Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for orders not received if an incorrect address is provided. It will also be necessary to give us details of where to place items should you be out when the delivery arrives. Mail-Order-Trees cannot be responsible for items lost if we have followed your instructions. A contact telephone number can also be very useful to our courier.
