Hedgeapples



I have the strangest tree in the backyard. From research, I have determined that it is a Hedge apple. It is not native here. The "fruit" is really odd. It is about the size of a baseball and very dense. It would seriously hurt to be conked on the head with one of these as it falls off of the tree. The fruit is not edible but people put them in their garage to keep away spiders. Not sure about that being true, so, Cletus has buckets of them in the garage.
