Redbud or Judas Tree Known to Old Fishermen
The redbud, known as the Judas tree, is tied to a tradition about Judas Christ’s hanging and to folk beliefs linking blossoms to fish. Fishermen say larger fish spawn when the redbud blooms and luck comes when casting a line as the dogwood flowers. The tree grows from Canada along Lake Erie and Ontario, through New York to Michigan and south to gulf states, with Indiana noting a redbud of two feet nine inches in girth and a bole of twenty three feet.
