Chitalpa tashkentensis 'Pink Dawn'

View prices and availability

Small tree with a broad, flattened, spherical crown. The young leaves are glossy green, while the mature leaves are dull green. Because they are relatively narrow, they give the tree a fine structure. In early summer, large plumes with trumpet-shaped flowers appear. Sometimes there are up to 40 flowers together. They are about 4 cm in size and light pink with a light yellow throat. The flowers are sterile, so no fruits are formed. This tropically appearing tree is a hybrid between Chilopsis and Catalpa. It is a heat-loving tree that tolerates drought. In cooler areas, growth will be less vigorous. In areas with high humidity, the tree seems to be susceptible to powdery mildew.

Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.

Origin
Kleine boom met een brede, afgeplat bolvormige kroon. De jonge bladeren zijn glanzend groen, de volwassen bladeren dofgroen. Omdat ze relatief smal zijn, geven ze de boom een fijne structuur. In de vroege zomer verschijnen de forse pluimen met trompetvormige bloemen. Soms staan er wel tot 40 bloemen bij elkaar. Ze zijn circa 4 cm groot en lichtroze met een lichtgele keel. De bloemen zijn steriel en er worden dus geen vruchten gevormd. Deze tropisch aandoende boom is een hybride tussen Chilopsis en Catalpa. Het is een warmteminnende boom die droogte verdraagt. In koelere gebieden zal de groei minder sterk zijn. In gebieden met een hoge luchtvochtigheid blijkt de boom meeldauwgevoelig.
