The fruit of the Osage Orange - the so-called "hedge apple" - stands out vividly in an autumn treeline.
It is a large, dense, green wrinkled ball up to 6" in diameter that often persists on the tree after the leaves have fallen off. In good years, the branches will bend low with the combined weight of these heavy fruit. They have a sticky, white juice within them.
