Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the Osage orange, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub, typically growing to 8 to 15 metres (30â€"50 ft) tall. The distinctive fruit, from a multiple fruit family, is roughly spherical, bumpy, 8 to 15 centimetres (3â€"6 in) in diameter, and turns bright yellow-green in the fall. The fruits secrete a sticky white latex when cut or damaged. Despite the name "Osage orange",[3] it is only distantly related to the orange,[4] but rather is a member of the mulberry family, Moraceae.[5] Due to its latex secretions and woody pulp, the fruit is typically not eaten by humans and rarely by foraging animals, giving it distinction as an anachronistic "ghost of evolution".

A good wood to turn.  Starts out yellow, but turns brown over time or if heat is added.

Correct! I'd be interested to hear what they do taste like.  Don't believe they are edible.

The fruit is a blast to shoot with the 22-250. They vaporize with a satisfying pop.
Don't bring shame to our sport.

He died for dipshits too.
