Catalpa, Pine Barrens, NJ Barry Caselli
July 17, 2009

ENTS,
Here are 3 photos I took today of a beautiful, probably open-grown, Catalpa bignonioides, located behind some of the workers' houses at Historic Batsto in Wharton State Forest.
The tree isn't big, but it's one of the least messed-up Catalpas I've ever seen, and it's got a beautiful shape to it. It kind of reminds of the Live Oaks.
I'm guessing each trunk might be about a foot in DBH, and the tree might be 40 feet tall, or maybe a little less.
Enjoy,
Barry
