Large Catalpe Tree

This large Catalpa tree is in front of my parent's house. A Tennessee Forester told them that it was one of the largest in the state of Tennessee.

I don't know about that but for those who don't live where these grow, the Sphinx Moth lays eggs on the leaves. By mid summer caterpillars by the hundreds are eating away the foliage. Catfish love them.
There are two species of Catalpa. Catalpa bignonioides, and Catalpa speciosa. I believe this is the latter.
