The Catalpa Sphinx moth is generally most common in the southern states. They lay eggs on a Catalpa and the eggs hatch into the caterpillars. In zone 4 they are uncommon/rare or non-existent. Both the northern and southern Catalpa attract the moths and caterpillars. So it will be good for you since they might not be common in your area.

The two trees are like 13 ft apart. However, they're about 8 ft from the property line. I'm not sure if I should transplant them. The area where I planted them is the perfect place because they will give nice shade to the patio I recently built. I've seen them here and they are large. I've also seen some that are narrower. Prolly, they might have been cut intentionally. They are gorgeous! I don't have any pics of the one I saw near our place with flowers. Next time I go there, I'll make sure they're blooming! :) Some folks are also pruning them down to 3 ft. It makes a nice large bush. :) I'll try that too!

I just cleaned up my NC seeds and I have lots to go. I also have lots of flowers and vegies. Please have a look at my page to see if there's anything you would like. Everything must go! Marg/marric
