Redbud or Judas Tree 10
Known to Old Fishermen

The redbud is known as the Judas
tree, and there is tradition that this
was the variety on which Judas
hanged himself. Most observers know
the trees as redbuds, and about the
only tradition associated with the red
bud or the dogwood has to do with
fish. Some Of the larger fish are said
to spawn when the redbud blossoms,
and there is a belief that the fisher
man will have luck If he casts his
line when the dogwood Is in flower.
The affinity between blossoms and fish
originated, however, before legisla-
lures established closed season for
certain species.
The redbud Is found in Canada
along the shores of Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario. 1t runs through New
York to Michigan and south to the
gulf states. In Indiana Is recorded
redbud having a circumference OF two
feet nine inches, clear bole Of twen-
ty-three feet and total height Of
fifty-four feet Many of them are con-
siderably smaller.
