Koohii stories:

1) [happychair] 14-3-2006(235): The CATALPA is the tree that bears the SPICY Indian bean (NOTE - The Catalpa is also known as the "Indian Bean" due to the bean pods that grow from it).

2) [johnzep] 7-8-2007(43): The caterpillar's favorite tree is the catalpa because it tastes spicy.

3) [tryllid] 6-10-2008(22): Tree + Spicy; The catalpa tree has seed pods that look like spicy peppers.

4) [DrJones] 21-3-2008(17): I know the Catalpa as the "promise tree". A young person will cite the person he or she loves under a Catalpa tree to declare his or her feelings. The fact that the right primitive means both spicy and bitter illustrates the hesitance and stress that precedes the ultimate reply.

5) [usis35] 1-6-2012(11): This kanji is barely used. Just rename the keyword to PEPPER TREE (so you don't need a story) and move on. If you do a google image search for the kanji 梓 , you'll find that this character almost exclusively refers to the female name あずさ (by the way, you will see some cute girls).
