Osage orange time

 


It is a shame that Osage oranges are neither edible nor fragrant. They are also not oranges. They are cool looking though. They are actually a tree that is native to Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and are tough, drought tolerant, wet tolerant, cold tolerant, wind tolerant, and tolerant of poor soil. They can be spiny, and do not have attractive flowers, and do not have colorful fall foliage. The fruit is said to repel cockroaches, but I really doubt that.
