SHOWING MY RAISED CATALPA WORMS AND TREES! WORMS ARE EVERYWHERE!  

Yea. We have worked hard on keeping the trees looking good. I know some areas that are full of trees but no worms. I have introduced worms to a tree and they have had worms on it ever since. I just make sure I leave a good amount to reproduce. I went on a trip and on the way i seen some catalpa trees on the side of the road. On the way home, I stopped and pull them up. I got home and put them all in pots and watered them every day. Some of them lived and some didn’t. The catalpa tree at the beginning of the video, my papa and I pulled it up several years ago.

@@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786 As in, maybe 8 years?

@@henpeckedlizard9873 when I pulled it up it was already about 6 ft tall. It’s been planted here for about 5 to 6 years.

Yea I know some areas that never have worms.if you plant some and If you never have worms, you may have to drive around and find some to bring back home to your trees to start the reproduction cycle.

I also see the pupa. They will hatch into the moths, mate and female will lay eggs on your tree.

Where do you live?

@@ronwillett9014 I live in dayton,ohio area

Thanks! Worms could appear on your tree. If not, you need to transfer some to your tree. I would have as many trees as possible. I might would wait for the tree to get decent size before having a bunch of worms on your tree. From what I’ve read it is hard on a young tree when the catalpa worms eat all the leaves.

@@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786 Thx for info wondering if u also sell these online

@@rosieparramore7469 your welcome. I’m planning on it one day. Maybe in the next couple years. I’m hoping some of these trees get the size of the big one in the video.

​@@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786I read online that not all Catalpa trees have worms and I saw on YT people have Catalpa tree in backyard and no worms. That is my hope because I liked this tree for blooms, fast grow and canope shape. Collected few seeds to see how it grows and just ordered one live tree online. Do I have a chance not to have worms on the tree? Maybe it depends on area. We live in Northern NV and air is dry. We don’t have even mosqitoes.

@@rockyk9316 most likely you'll never have worms on your tree. A lot of ppl has to get worms from another tree to transfer to their tree. Then the worms reach full maturity and go into the ground to start the life cycle in your area. There is always a chance you could have worms on your tree, but in your situation sounds like you won't have any.

Not right now. I will in the next couple years. Ima let these trees get a little bigger. I catfish a lot and I have enough to use for myself and family.

Hey Ron. I won't be able to make it. I remember you getting in contact with me last. I'm sorry for the late response. I think u were telling me about a catalpa worm and tree book that author would be at the seminar. Where can I buy the book? I would like to read it and gain more knowledge about them.

@@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786 send me your cell # and email. I’ll send you a link.

I would like to purchase some live worms. Please send me any info you may have on how I can purchase them.

Man Idk that’s one thing I’d like to figure out. I have 4 trees planted at a different place and have a bunch of baby worms every year. Then they disappear. Something has been getting them. Big stink bugs, wasp, big ants, rain crow, a lot of things.

@@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786 I got 4 big trees and just planted 50 more about a foot tall, I went out yesterday and it looked like I had a million babies on my big tree and today they said find me if you can

@@roberthavard2848 that's awesome on your new trees! We planted 7 new ones this year and I plan on doing another video this week showing all our trees and worms. papa and I picked 500 the other day. I hate that for ya on your worms. Sometimes there can be a bunch on a leaf out of sight. Did you have any thunderstorms in your area? I've had some very hard rains knock a bunch off. I really wish I could set up a camera of some kind to figure out what is getting all my worms off those 4 trees. It is crazy how they can disappear in a night.

sorry for the late reply. No I don't. I usually freeze all my catalpa worms.

What state are you in? I have found a bunch on the side of roads when I’m on a trip or vacation. Once you have a tree, you have to introduce worms to it. Where I’m at mid June is the main crop of worms that come out. I recommend to let your tree get a certain size before introducing worms to it. some plant nurseries have them that you can order. Hopefully you can get lucky and find a nice size one close to home (look on the side of roads or in ditches). If you find a huge catalpa tree look for smaller ones around it. I’d wait till winter to dig it up and plant it. Get all of the big tap root. If you want to get it now, I have done it but some trees make it and some don’t. All the leaves will fall off, but just keep watering it and I put miracle grow food in it once a week to help it. The leaves will grow back. if you can’t find any trees, get online and order some catalpa seeds and plant them.

@@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786 thanks for the help. I live about fifteen minutes east of Baton Rouge Louisiana

@@codystewart2501 your welcome. If your In Louisiana, you should be able to find some catalpa trees. Might have to drive around a little.
