Northern Catalpa



We went to a local cemetery near downtown to check on this Catalpa. I measured it in the summer of 2016 and found there did not seem to be much change in that time. It is a nice tree and tree people come and look at it. I talked to the caretaker of the cemetery and he said there was a plaque with information about the tree. I could not find the plaque, but will return at a later date.

The circumference grew from 139" to 140 1/8". When you consider the size of the tree, that is a lot of growth.



This tree was measured in 2016 and here is the post.https://verde33.blogspot.com/2016/08/large-catalpa-tree.html

Coming back in the winter makes an interesting contrast.

An old tree that gives peace to families that visit this place. This tree is old but it looks really healthy. It will continue to bless others for a long time.

Let us trust the Lord for health to give blessings to others.
