Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera)

This Osage Orange (also known as Hedgeapple) was observed in the Overland Park, Kansas Arboretum & Botanical Garden. April 12, 2017.

The wood was at one time highly valued by American Indians and settlers. The trees were very useful in forming hedgerows. The fruit of this tree is very distinctive.
