The ball-trumpet tree thrives best in the sun
Plant the trumpet tree properly
In contrast to the traditional trumpet tree, the bullet-shaped trumpet tree (Catalpa bignonioides) forms a rather spherical crown, but over the years it can become very wide. In addition, this trumpet tree species, with a height of up to six meters, remains much smaller. Impressive is the beautiful flower.

The ball-trumpet tree loves the sun and warmth and should therefore be kept warm and sunny. However, especially young specimens tolerate no frost.
In which substrate should the ball bugle tree be placed?
At best, plant the ball-trumpet tree in a slightly damp, well-drained and nutrient-rich substrate. Waterlogged trees from the USA do not tolerate waterlogging at all, as well as dry soil.
When should the ball-bellied tree best be planted?
The frost-sensitive ball-trumpet tree should be planted only in mild situations, and only in late spring, as soon as the risk of late frost is no longer given.
Which planting distance is to be kept to other plants?
Since the tree can grow up to six meters in age, it is best to set it as a solitary with a suitable distance from other plants.
What must be considered when planting the ball-bellied tree?
In winter-cold regions, the ball-trumpet tree should not be planted better. Plant substrate is ideally upgraded with humus, coarse sand and loam. Freshly planted specimens must be watered vigorously.
Can the ball bugle tree be cultivated in the bucket?
A bucket attitude of the ball-trumpet tree is recommended especially in the first ten years, as a frost-free wintering is only possible. However, older trees can easily survive the cold season - with appropriate hardening - in mild areas.
Can the ball bugle tree also be transplanted?
Transplanting the ball-trumpet tree is usually possible after a period of two to three years without problems. In this case, however, a pruning should always be done at the same time to compensate for the inevitable loss of roots.
When does the globe bug tree flower?
The ball-trumpet tree is usually flowering between June and July.
What is the best way to multiply the ball-bellied tree?
Normal trumpet trees can be propagated via root and shoot cuttings as well as over seeds, the propagation of the ball-trumpet tree succeeds only by refinement.
Tips
Unfortunately, the ball-trumpet tree is very susceptible to Verticillium wilt, a dreaded fungal disease. Since there is no effective antidote, only a transplanting and a strong pruning of infested plant parts helps.
