Stunning in the spring when in flower! and the worms make killer panfish bait!

I have several Catalpa's I let grow just for that, but nary a worm in 43 yrs! Maybe I should be careful what I wish for.

Just stick a green limb into the ground and walk away. probably a 70% survival rate. Did it for years. The bigger the limb, the quicker they grow.

I could only find pupa worms on Ebay. I have the trees just no worms. Great bait.

It makes great stretcher boards. Got a buddy that has a whole bunch of them. A guy I worked with had his fish boxes that he kept fish in he caught in the river made from Catalpa. Said it wouldn’t rot like other wood, don’t know if that’s true, but he had some that he’d had a long time.
