Chitalpa
×Chitalpa tashkentensis
Desert willow × catalpa hybrid with pink orchid-like summer flowers and willow foliage. Tough, fast, and sterile — no messy seedpods.
Landscape use
Specimen flowering tree, summer shade, dry-garden canopy, street tree where space allows.
Care
Full sun, well-drained soil. Low to moderate water. Prune for structure in winter. Handles Hill Country heat better than catalpa alone.
