Osage-Oranges or Horse Apples

November 7, 2010


Can someone please tell me what these green alien brain things are??

After church and lunch at Mimi's Cafe with some Pharr cousins, we went with Jeannie and Lily for a walk at Gulley park and the Lake Fayetteville park.

These things were all over Gulley.
The first one I saw I thought was a much demolished tennis ball, but then we came upon a whole field of them.
I highly doubt destructed tennis balls grow in NWA.
Zach said he remembered seeing them at Pomfret.

They are some called Osage-Oranges or Horse Apples. From an Osage-Orange or Horse Apple (Or Bois D'arc, or Bodark--anglicanization, kids) tree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maclura_pomifera.
Freaky, freaky, freaky.
