tree seeds in green bean like growths
I collected a long "green bean" like thing with seeds in it, germinated
nearly all of the seeds, and am now trying to grow this tree in my sunroom. Would some kind soul who knows trees tell me the names of some trees which this could be, and I will be able to look up and identify the tree. It was a mature tree, and I enjoy the challenge of attempting to grow one. And does anyone know a good tree book? Thanks, Jackie Davidson |

If you don't mind black and white photos, a very good older book is Donald Wyman's Trees for American Gardens. |

Thank you. I believe it is a Catalpa.

For some reason I recall a friend of mine telling me this. Wasn't one to test what he said since he was in the medical professions. |

Wasn't one to test what he said since he was in the medical professions I don't know about toxicity, but I remember the one next to my house as a kid had a very loud perfume when in bloom. Being 74 years old, I am not worried about that part. Jackie |
