I grew up on a small farm in Ohio. Being a Farmboy, my first paying job was at another local small farm. Soon, I was working for several of them and one of the benefits with a few was the access to the ponds. Dad was extremely old-fashioned and loved fishing, so he would keep his eye on the trees for the worms every time he'd drop me off or pick me up. Once he found them, he'd contact all of my MANY Brothers and they'd all show up and climb the trees to perform a Worm Harvest. Now, most people would imagine it would be like harvesting apples, where you pick every single one. NOPE!! Dad had rules that only certain ones were to be picked. That's when I learned that these Worms are actually beneficial to the survival of the tree. And from judging the size of these trees, they'd been around for a very long time. Some of them had trunks bigger than 6 feet in diameter. The only time I ever recall cutting one completely down was due to it being diseased or storm damaged. Dad treated them like he did his Fruit Trees and trimmed them in the same fashion....only trim the vertical branches and leave the horizontal ones alone. They make great shade trees on a hot Summer day out in the field, THAT'S FOR SURE!!
LOL, when I read title, I laughed because of memories of climbing the tree as a boy collecting worms to go fishing. Used them just as your Pop told you too.
My grandfather had 2. We too used them for fishing. ❤️ Good times.
My grandfather planted five of them fourth years ago, they are about thirty feet high. I have been trying to cut them back to allow more light down to my food forest that I put in under them. The leaves make good snacks for pigs and goats. I have been propagating them, as well as Turkey fig, old roses, tamarind trees, and confederate rose.
When I was a young child snd always fished with my grandpa. But before we went fishing I ride out to a country road. Grandpa had a long pole to shake the tree. As he did I gathered up the worms a d put in a bucket. We fished with the worms all the time along with night crawlers. Such memories gathering worms with my grandpa to fish with. Thanks for sharing as it brought back great memories for me. And yes I baited my own hook with them.
Sounds like a lovely memory to have.
Huh, I have never seen worm on our Catalpas, but I have never looked 🤷🏼♀️
Just asked this morning if any one local has seen worms yet. Some have some haven't.God Bless, stay safe.
What a great video! I’ve spent over an hour reading comments, and they’re as enjoyable as the video. I just bought a house that has three Catawba trees in the backyard. They’re at least 20” across at the base. May 20th here in Tennessee, the trees are full of beautiful blooms! I had heard of the trees, but not the worms and how good a bait they are. I’m surprised, because I’m 62 and have fished off and on my entire life, though traditional archery hunting is my favorite hobby. My new home is less than a quarter mile from the Cumberland River and a boat ramp. My neighbors told me the previous owner had planted the trees for the worms to fish with. I’ve been keeping an eye out, but haven’t seen any worms yet...keeping my fingers crossed!
I used to grow grape vines, and I would get cuttings from the vines by cutting an 18” or so section with a half dozen or so buds on it. The end to root, you make that end by cutting on a 45 degree slant though the vine and slicing a bud in half. The upper end cut off an inch or so above a bud. When put in a plant bed, several buds into the ground to root, and several above ground to branch. I usually did this in early winter when pruning the vines back. Wrap the cuttings in a dampened paper towel and keep in your refrigerator (not freezer)until spring planting time. Small Catawba branches may root in the same way?
I planted 2in my back yard for the worms when I was a kid ,they are over 40’tall now
Used to catfish and we had tournament and big fish paid 50 percent of the$$$ collected and the rest paid 30 percent and 20 percent, Because they are rare the worms were not used often but everyone who used it in tourament won part of the payout cash, Yes the best bait and every fish species we would catch.
Thank you for the teaching Sir
Absolutely brilliant! That is the consummate definition of permaculture my friend!
Currently my tree is completely stripped took my grand babies fishing with them. Loved it
Learned something new today!
Every time I see these trees, I make an effort to tell the property owner about 'em and only about 1/2 the owners of these trees know about them. This needs to be taught in school, a 1 hour lesson in every 10th grade class would be a tremendous value to humans....
I would have thought the worms were harmful to the tree. I learned something again from you, Danny. Thanks for the lesson!
Catalpa Trees? Quickly clicked on your COOL channel Deep South Homestead, reminds me of some old growth over by Robert Ruggieri's Law consulting firm and from there I believe a seed floated over to the Lrae Club(beer joint)and established itself in Mr. Earl Oliver's beautiful li'l yard and from there another seed wafted over on the air and planted itself at our apartment doorstep, all this in se Utah, this tree is so BEAUTIFUL! :D
Crazy because I was just looking to buy a grape tree for our home garden and this was the name of one of those trees. Cool video thank you!
We called them Indian Cigar Trees. I guess they are Native American Cigar Trees now.
You may be referring to a cowcumber tree.
Russel Means said everyone born in America is a Native American and called himself an Indian. Can’t get much more authentic than that
@@DeepSouthHomestead we call them Indian cigar trees in my area too
I grew up using Catalpa worms for fishing.
Great shade trees,excellent catfish bait,and though I've never tried it I was told that the wood is pretty rot resistant
you are correct about the wood when the east to west railroad was being build they used catalpa cross ties when avail.
If you want those, just ask. I pull abouy 10 out every year. They grow really well and huge where I live. I do not think they like their feet wet, and I know they love sunlight.
Beautiful song birds singing in the backgroung of your homestead. Just waiting for their share of catalpa worms.
Great wine and fishing with
The flowers are my favorite part of having a Catalpa. They smell amazing. Black locust flowers and milkweed flowers are lovely too. Im glad to find other uses and benefits from our plants. Tfs 💚🌱
I came across a couple of Basswood / Linden trees over the summer in July (Michigan). Incredible scent as well and abundant pretty yellow flowers.
I love Catalpa as well, one of my favorite trees.
@@wmluna381 We have some catalpa trees in our front yard (in Michigan). They were supposedly not supposed to have pods. They were smaller when we bought the place, no pods at the time. For two weeks a year the flowers are gorgeous and smell good. The rest of the year it’s an eye sore throat Addams Family would not want. No worms, but those pods are very hard to clean up and the tree holds in to them through the winter so it looks awful for months with no leaves, just dead pods. I cannot stand these trees.
If you put the worms in water, they will disperes the black stuff and you can pour it out. Then you can put them in ziplock bags will with water and freeze and when you take them out they will look like they did when you took them off the tree.
I’ve lost most of my Catawba trees but I used to have three.
The old men who fish the river would offer to pay me for the worms all the time.
I always just gave them as many as they wanted….they still stop to ask if I need any fish on their way out, even tho I don’t have the trees anymore 😊
Kindness can be a good in investment!
I’ve been hunting for some little ones that I can start 😊
Hi my name is Steven , I have a question please about these trees can the Bean pods or the leaves on these trees be eaten by people , I have these trees on my place ?.
@@stevenskidmore5457 according to Google the tree has no known edible uses
But the worms that live on the trees are great fish bait
I'm in upstate New York. I have 4 trees ready to be transplanted. If you're near-by, you're welcome to come and get them.
@@bernadettehanson4751
I wish! I’m in Florida
Catalpa trees are beautiful in the spring! We had one at the farm we sold and every year our kids when they were little would stand under it and the flower blooms would just rain down on them. On a windy day the flower petals would just rain and cover the ground! So beautiful!🤗
Well, we didnt actually sell it. It's a long story but we lived in it for 3years moving there with the intent to sell the one we live in now (which sat on the market for 2years in 2015). The people that own it were old and want to sell it to us so we moved in but long story short couldn't get a loan bc they said we didnt have enough debt🤦♀️ even through we owned this one since 2003. We rented out our house to family and that was not a good situation so after three years of living on the farm we got a lawyer to get family out (another long story😆) moved back to the house we actually own after about 20,000 in damages its finally getting back to normal. We bought this one brand new only ones that lived here before so it was a frustrating situation to say the least but we are thankful God gave us the experience of the farm life and our kids got to experience it too💗 We came back to this house and made it a sanctuary with chickens,creek,fish,rabbits,and gardens with what we could to be debt free. We only have this house left to be debt free so we weren't about to jump back into debt not being able to sell this one😉
I have 2 Catalpas on my property that are well over 300 years old according to the arborist.
Very interesting 🤔
Thanks for the knowledge. Even at 74 I still enjoy learning new things. What's that ole saying, Too bad youth is wasted on the very young. When you get my age you understand just what the man was saying.
When I was a pre-teen and teenager in the 60s my dad would get catalpa worms for bait. He called them talfy worms. The ones here (NE Ar.) resembled tomato horn worms and were about the same size. Since the widespread use of pesticide by the farmers they have pretty much disappeared here. It is a shame, they used to be on every catalpa tree you saw. We still see the trees, some are huge, but no more worms.
catalpa trees make the best shade. Left alone and not crowded they have perfect symmatry. they are beautiful trees.... They arent native here...but they seem to like our Central California climate. The lake park across the street where I grew up had some wonderful Catalpas. (the worms wouldnt be welcome in California...we try not to have invasive insects that might not be good for crops)
Good science class 😁
After 3 years of applying for high tunnel grant we have been approved. Don't give up. My daughter's persistance. Two women homesteaders on small budget. Lol
Congratulations. How did you apply for the grant ?
Contact your local USDA office. Best wishes!
Catawba trees and worms are great. You should have told everybody you're suppose to bite the head off and then turn them inside out. I always heard that but never saw anyone do it. Lol
Hey Frog Foot, you do turn'em inside out, but you just pull the head off. By far one of the best bait for panfish & catfish that you can use.
✌
My ex ….. for absolutely no reason cut two of them down in my yard he burned and poisoned the stumps …. They wouldn’t die . They are about 100 yrs old
We've got the trees up here in WV but haven't seen any worms yet , used to catch em in Alabama
I have 15 catalpa trees in my yard. They are a beautiful trees. The chickens loves the worms. I plant at least one a year. I have gave a lot of seedlings away. They love our area in the Ozarks.
Hi my name is Steven , I have a question please about these trees I have some on my place , can the Bean pods or the leaves be eaten by people ?.
@@stevenskidmore5457 I wonder about that too, my older book says Indians used the trees but not what part they used.
The wood made decent heat if dry, fairly hard wood might be durable.
Ha when I saw those worms at the start of the video I thought Yikes get rid of them. You learn something new everyday 💝
i remember when i was about 12 we used to go to the pay lake and fish for tag fish and after catching a 100.00 catfish the owner would not let anybody use catalpa worms anymore. lol
I thought I was the only one who used my Kubota for a ladder.
if you have a catalpa tree that too high cut off at about 7-8 ft tall it will bush out sideways i cut mine every year it grows right back alot of times it will grow back as a fork -------july -aug a good time to take cuttings to sprout its a lot quicker than seed----- you have a new tree in about 8 weeks
Those are some great looking catawba trees! And we have always turned them inside out to fish with. 🙂
Oh my!!! We found 2 trees here out by the pond and was tickled pink. My dad would set them in a bowl of hot water not boiling, after they floated to the top he wipe them off and set them in a old plastic butter bowl with cornmeal and kept it in the freezer so he always had them for fishing. Thanks for the memory
When I first saw the worms I thought “uh, oh, the rain has caused more problems” 🤣🤣🙄. I’ve learned something new this morning!
Good morning! Nice, put the fishing worms next to the fishing. Sweet!
Ooey, gooey, green, and chewy.
You made me cry 😥
My Daddy and I would do the same thing and I miss those fishing trips we had. What WONDERFUL MEMORIES . Thank You
It's been just over 16 years since Daddy died and I not been fishing since.
Beautiful!
I’ve got catalpa’s all over my property! Great video, Danny! God bless❤️🙏🏻❤️
I can smell those trees.
My grandmother use Catawba worms for fishing
Love those trees. Just learn about them.. God's Hand is everywhere.
I hadn't heard anyone talk about these since I was little in Kinston Ala my daddy fished with them.
Hi, Karen. I'm from Opp. Nice to see someone close to home here!
My grandfather has a large Catapla tree in his backyard that I used to help pick the worms from before going fishing. This is the same grandfather whose mayhaws and blueberries I still collect. Funny that he was a homesteader, before it even named.
I grew up a homesteader off grid before homesteading was cool, as my mom and dad did also!
That's what my daddy told me the Catawba worm we had a tree he said take a Matchstick and turn them wrong side outward
I grew up with these, We had them everywhere, We always kept them about 6' tall and they spread out and were loaded with worms every year... We kept water hoses in them to deter the birds, They will eat all the worms.. I was raised in Perry county, I would Love to get a hold of me a few trees but I haven't seen any in Georgia... Good seeing you, You always bring back memories..Hope you have a great day and may God bless y'all.. Steve
Wow great informative video.
I remember granny had Catawba worm 🐛 trees. They was loaded with grown worms. I’d never seen the babies before.
I saw then first when kayaking down my creek. I thought they were a beautiful tree, and i loved the way the pods hung down. Therefore, in finding out more about it, i had to have one.
We called them talfa trees you know I guess that's the hillbilly way!
I just saw a RUclips fishing worth those the other day, in Arkansas.
So funny the grand kids just told us we had worms all over our big tree. We had not even looked at it yet this summer. Then this video came up, lol. Our worms are black with a yellow stripe and a hooked horn tail. We are in southern Missouri. We will harvest them and do exactly what you described for our future bait. Thank you for your videos and happy fishing!
As a child, I always wondered what that tree and worms and long green pods was! Mind you I'm 54 and I remember the tree as a 4 year old. Big huge worms, with a long black antana at the end. After our ice storm, here in Spencer Oklahoma, with all the tree damage. I started to cut it down , decided not to, thanks for the information.
LOL-Mr. Danny even plants a special tree that feeds his fishing worms. I know it is a permaculture thing, but I bet people like me who did not know about catawba trees being good fishing worm hosts are impressed and now looking to see where their ecological system they are building has holes. ☺️
God is good. You didn’t need the worms until you had the ponds (and slowed down a bit).
🌞 Good morning Danny and Wanda I have never heard of a Catawba tree 🌴 happy you found some to add to your permaculture ecosystem 🐛🐛
You're pretty limber climbing that tractor bucket for someone over 60! lol
Lol. I made my living in the air climbing.
I've fished with them for many, many years and they are one of the best baits I have ever used! I was taught to turn them inside out too and they are great! The fish have a really hard time getting them off the hook! Congrats on getting those trees!
good morning
Dont catalpas drop cigar shaped seed pods? If thats an 18 y/o catalpa, then I must be used to 40 or 60 y/o trees, b/c the ones im used to are 2 ft thick trunks
The Toby trees up here in PA are the Northern variety. Our Catalpa trees are much larger in leaf and trunk structure. :-)
We have photos of ours in the 70s. They were big mature trees then. They do grow fast though. We let a couple sprouts go, and in 5 years we have a shade trees. Must be the northern variety.
Are those the trees that grow their seeds in bean like sacs?
Long pods like pole beans
They make a long hard bean little larger than a pencil.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I thought so we have those trees here also. Thanks ❤️
@@DeepSouthHomestead I live in the UK and have a Catalpa in my garden, two years ago as well as the lovely flowers it grew beans too, I waited till the beans had turned brown and started splitting open, then planted the seeds, two yrs on I have around 30 trees. I have the southern Catalpa which has beautiful lime green leaves the "aurea" variety.
Congratulations Wanda.👏 👏 👏 You truly have a resourceful MAN too. Danny, I hope you continue to mske your heaven on earth. Great work. I adore sharing hour videos like this. It gives me hope for the species of this planet
This makes me rethink my whole attitude toward insects - the can be so useful!
Free worms & you won’t have to look for a bait shop. God gifts us. We just have to look! Thanks Danny Always good to learn something new. 💕from Ky
When I was a kid, we called them Catawby trees and worms. lol. Free best fish bait right in the yard.
We have one in our back yard close to our spring feed branch. Donnie and I always gathered them and went cat fishing. Great bait !!!!! We have froze them too.
We had a huge catalpa in our yard growing up. It had huge leaves on it. My brothers and I would gather the worms and sell them to fishermen.
The wood from the catawba tree supposedly does not burn well, so don't bother making firewood from it, but I wonder if it would make decent framing wood, naturally flame retardant
The worms also host parasitic wasps, which are good predators to have around the garden.
I know where a big tree like that is here in northeastern kentucky they will eat every leaf off the tree doesnt hurt the tree a bit.
We also live in Northeastern KY. What town/city are you in? We're near Tollesboro
Never heard of these trees before or the worms. Learn something new today!
Wow!!! I’m learning so much for y’all!!!!
fish smell the worms in the water. thats why turning em inside out works well.
One year I saw those catalpa worms hatch out on some four o'clocks; there were no catalpa trees nearby. Meanwhile I've had the trees for over 15 years and never had any of the worms.
I am letting mine get established and seeing if the worms will show up on their own. If they don’t show up within a couple of years I will go to my father in law’s house and get some off of his tree to get them established on mine.
That first tree either has something wrong with it or is in a bad spot. A catalpa that age should be much bigger than the one you have. It is a fast growing tree. I've seen trees that age that are three or four times the size of that one. It is a beautiful wood for wood turning.
We had 2 at my gdads place...We used to pull the worms off to go fishing...
My homestead in southwest Ohio has dozens of catalpa trees, The long driveway is lined with massive and very old catalpas. Here, they provide shade and beauty, as well as add other attributes to the ecosystem.
Do they have worms? As a northerner I have always loved catalpas but I am used to seeing large varieties. The leaves are too high to go examine.
I grew up in Ohio also and we used the worms for fishing also. The Catalpa trees that were around us were 80’ tall and easily 48” diameter and some of those may have been up to 60”.
These trees are best left to grow tall and fat and I think Danny is crazy for cutting them back all the time, they need to be let go and they will produce seed pods and then Danny will have all the catalpa trees he could ever dream of!! They make the best shade trees!
Danny we have the largest catopa trees here Oklahoma I've ever seen. My father in law had huge ones when he lived in Bryan Co. We couldn't wait till they got big cause that's when we stocked up on a lot catfish. It's the best fish bait you can get.
❤I think you are cute ❤❤❤❤
I am from Arabia اهلا
I am learning about this tree 🌲 called. 🎊 Catalpa has white flowers 🌺 Is it the same tree 🌳 you have in the video
Do the worms benefit it how Thankful ❤❤❤❤❤
This video brings back memories from my childhood. I remember catching Catalpa worms as a kid and selling them for fish bait.
have them here around the house for the past 40 yrs
I'm waiting now for daylight to go compare leaves to a tree out in the yard.If it is a Catalpa,i imagine i need to transplant it in the fall?
I pulled a small catalpa/catawba tree out of a sidewalk in 1974 and planted it in our back yard. I sold that house last year and the tree is still there.
I have propagated plants from that tree for many years and they are planted all over GA and Alabama.
That’s awesome and something you can be proud of for every.
how can you tell if the tree made it over winter? i planted 4 in pots and they did great, but now we’re in spring, and I can’t tell if they’re alive
As a young kid, we lived beside a small lake. We caught and sold these worms every year to fisherman. It was great for pocket money.
Do the worms get bigger than that? The ones shown look a bit small to get on a hook. Just curious.
I've seen some big bass waiting beneath catalpa trees. Fish get fed every time the wind blows.
Farmer that we rent his hay land from has them growing all over his place..... I have known about the trees and worms all my life in my boyhood I have seen trees covered with worms....... Chances are if there are no worms... there never will be...... they need to be put there......and some left... for seed
For once a worm with a better purpose 😊
We used to take a bed sheet and put on ground and shake tree. Get the worms and freeze them to fish with.
Cut the water oaks from the existing tree. It needs more sun and less acid from the oaks.
Just found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I live in New England and I wonder if these trees get the same kind of worms up here. I have noticed a few ppl where I live keep them short but I never knew why. Most ppl here consider them a messy nuisance tree.
I live in a town where catalpas are quite numerous. We even have a street named Catalpa Ave. because they're so prolific. Now I want to go "acquire" one.
I love it. Growing your own fish bait.
They're pretty common in Pittsburgh, PA. There we called them Toby trees.
