(Maclura pomifera)
Osage-orange is a species of hardwood tree native to North America that is so-called because of the tree's fruit, although not related to the citrus family. A medium-sized broadleaf deciduous tree, it grows 15-20m in height. Its leaves are simple, ovate, shiny and dark green, about 7-10cm long. It thrives in open and sunny areas, and has long been used as a hedge-row tree in the mid-west. The fruit is a large, lime-green baseball-sized sphere, which contains the seeds within.
