I love this huge Osage Orange tree that stands on the campus of Trinity United Methodist Church. Sheila and I just rang the church bell at 7:14 a.m. and I thought I’d take this pic
Comments:
John Schulz: It is a strange tree
Terrell: It's one of those trees that have staminate and pistillate flowers on separate specimens. This'n's a boy I think. I don't remember seeing any fruit on it.
Christine Reinolds Kozelle: Wow!! The one I found is by the Berry dairy tangled in pine trees.
Leslie Rainey Shelley: I’d love to have one
Monica Shepherd: I’m surprised I’ve never noticed this tree!
Sherri Harrington: I knew there were a few Osage orange trees around Rome - this is a beautiful one! When I lived in Nashville, where there were many of these trees, they were often called “hedge apple” and I could fill a bowl every year year with their beautiful, weird fruit.
Nina K. Pettis: In Texas, they're called "horse apples" and horses love to eat them. They can also deter insects from entering your house; cut them in half and toss them under the house.
John Schulz: The fruit is a curse.
Angela Greear: Beautiful
