What kind of tree has big broad leaves and beans?
Question:It is very fast growing and very difficult to kill. I have one growing at the base of my garage. I have seen another in the neighborhood and it is huge, as big as my 40 year old oak tree.
Answers:
Catalpa. Also called "cigar tree." It's mostly a southern tree, grows as far north as Kansas City. Wood is very hard and originally used to make fence posts since the wood lasts a long time.

Sounds like a katava tree.
First answer is right but I must add they are beautiful trees I have a HUGE one in my front yard in OKlahoma. and I am constantly cuttting little ones down all around the house. They also get worms if your not lucky. So far I have been lucky no worms

It might be a Catalpa ,also spelled Catawba tree.The tree is the food plant of the Catalpa Sphinx moth, the leaves being eaten by the caterpillars. The caterpillars are an excellent live bait for fishing, particularly in the south U.S. where some dedicated anglers plant catalpa mini-orchards for their own private source of "catawba-worms".
The Catalpa tree in Reading, UK.The largest living Catalpa tree is on the lawn of the Michigan State Capitol, which was planted at the time the Capitol was dedicated in 1873.
sounds like it could be a chitalpa but if you take a leaf to your local nursery they will tell you for certain.
