Probably a silly question, is the catalpa tree a nitrogen fixer? It doesn't have long long "bean" pods so I am assuming it is, just figured I'd ask the professionals ;)

Thank you sir. I did visit this page but I cannot see the tables in entirety, I'm viewing from a smart phone so for some reason its cuts off the whole right side of the tables.
