Go to www.hedgeapple.com. Fruit of the Osage Orange tree. We called them monkey balls as kids. We had two trees growing on the lawn of the local high school in north central West Virginia.

Folklore provides numerous claims that hedgeapples are repellent to insects and spiders. The fruit has been placed in housolds for ages.

The Hedgeapple's average lifespan in an air-condition environment is 2-3 months. Although some can develop spots at an early stage, Hedgeapples should only be discarded once most of the green has disappeared.

Hedgeapple 101
Hedgeapples are not poisonous. However, Hedgeapples have suffocated livestock by lodging in their esophagus.
Very often, a Hedgeapple is incorrectly referred to as a Hedge Ball, Horse Apple, Green Brains, Monkey Balls or Mock Orange. In Texas, they call them Horse Apples.
The hedge tree has several names, Osage Orange (most popular) and Bodark (French) and Maclura pomifera (scientific name). Naturalist,
The Osage Orange is native to a limited area centered on the Red River valley in southern Oklahoma and northern Texas.
Strangely the oldest and biggest Osage Orange tree is in Virginia.
