What does the Book of Enoch's apocryphal status imply for the Epistle of Jude that cites it?

Ok the book is apocryphal. https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/84245/what-is-the-catholic-view-of-the-book-of-enoch But apparently a canonical book, the Epistle of Jude, refers to an apocryphal book . So what, if anything, does this mean for either Jude or the Epistle of Jude ? Eg for the Epistle: Why isn't it like fruit of the poisonous tree where Epistle of Jude becomes apocryphal too? Maybe it's not a substantial reference ? Eg for Jude: Why doesn't this affect the credibility of Jude? Like Jude ... what made a mistake or something? Or Jude didn't have the means at the time to decide if the Book of Epoch is legit or not? Or what?
