The famed Horse Cave, Hart Co., KY, town Catalpa



2011-05-22 - Horse Cave, KY: Just west of the railroad tracks in Horse Cave, Kentucky, opposite The Bookstore - Photo by Gene Bowen. You may know it as: Catalpa, Catawba, Indian Bean, Cigar Tree or Fish Bait Tree, but chances are if you live in the United States, you have seen this unique tree. Catalpa is a true tree of the people, surviving in all kinds of conditions from polluted cities to windswept prairies. Native Americans utilized the Catawba long before settlers arrived in the New World, but the settlers soon recognized the value of the Catalpa and carried it with them across the country. With Catalpa's ability to survive most conditions and grow rapidly, and its bonus of beautiful, fragrant flowers, it was the pioneers' choice of trees to plant on a new homestead. -GENE BOWEN.
