I have a large Catalpa in france, and it takes till late may to start producing the leaves, and then as the season progresses they get bigger, the flowers are fantastic, so be patient they do come into leaf late and you have some buds appearing so thats a good sign, julien.

Hello Tiffany,

I think you have sent your message to the wrong address. This is where you can post questions to GOY members who are all volunteers and do not sell plants on this site.
Perhaps you bought it from one of the recommended firms though on the "Garden Centre" part of GOY. If you would like to complain to the firm that sold it and sent it, please email them directly.

However, as you can see, people will message you back with advice as Julien has done already. But GOY did not sell you the plant.

My catalpa is only just starting to shoot as well. As Julien says, they are late starters
