and when the catalpa bugs hit the tree, even the pods were gone. I'd never seen a tree go bare so fast!! I would like to have one again at the house I'm in now. But they're aren't any free growing ones around here. We had a creek and "forest space" across the street from us in the old house. We got a LOT of different free-growing trees and plants as the winds blew the seeds into our yard. We don't have that here.

And believe me, if I went down and bought one to plant, it would die within a week or less. I have THAT much of a black thumb! (LOL)
