I have had two friends deliver hedge apples to me. I also went to a spot where my DIL said she saw hedge apples close to the road and picked up 17 more really large ones. On the way home, I noticed a house that has a huge hedge apple tree beside their driveway and the ground is just littered with the fruit. I may go knock on their door and see if they mind if I collect a few. I almost have enough. Recluse . . . be gone!!! Hehehehehe.

Thanks for looking for me. They'll be dropping for a few more weeks, so I'll be able to get more off the tree I visited today, if nowhere else. It's still loaded with fruit and I don't even have to jump a ditch to get to them. I'm happy! I found out on a "Hedge Apple" site that you can actually eat them. I never knew that.

What is a hedge apple? :D

Hedge apples are the fruit of the Osage orange tree. The Osage orange is a native of southern Missouri, Arkansas, Northern Texas and Western Oklahoma. It's named after the Osage Indian Tribe that lived in the area. Early settlers made them into hedgerows though out the Midwest. They are thorny, tough, and grow well close together. They made a good windbreak and a great fence prior to the invention of barbed wire. The fruit (hedge apple) is from 3" to 5" in diameter and looks like a whacked out green grapefruit. The reason I wanted them is, I live in an earth contact house (read basement) and it gets infested with spiders. Right now I have an over abundance of recluse jumping out at me. I'm surprised I haven't been bitten yet. In the past, I have had extremely good luck repelling spiders with hedge apples. I put one in each corner of each room, and usually it will keep spiders out of the house for up to a year. Last year, the person who usually supplies them to me gave them to someone to decorate their wedding reception tables with, and now my house is once more infested. I have been much more proactive in getting hold of them this year. LOL. My original supplier still hasn't come through.
