Can anyone help me identify this shrub/tree? It is currently in a pot(a rescue item from a nursery), is four ft tall(roughly 120cm), and has just started to flower today.
Ooooh ..lucky you! it is a man made hybrid between different trees.....Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis) for desert hardiness and color, and Southern Catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides) for larger blooms.
It is a rather rare in UK....Chitalpa tashkentensis.
