It produces very large, heart-shaped leaves that create dense shade. In late spring to early summer, the tree is covered with clusters of white, trumpet-shaped flowers marked with yellow and purple inside. These are followed by long, slender seed pods often called “cigar pods.” Grows best in loamy and moist well-drained soils.  Tolerates urban conditions, drought, poor soil, and wet soil.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 534px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTree\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentral and Eastern USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30' - 60'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpread: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e20' - 40’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpacing: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e30’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 - 9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCulture: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull Sun, Part Sun\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Color: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhite\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 291.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 226.062px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpring, Summer, Fall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMAINTENANCE NEEDS:\u003c\/b\u003e Low m\u003cspan\u003eaintenance.  No serious disease or pest issues.
