Hedgeapple.com - Biggest Hedgeapple Tree
The focal point of the grounds at Red Hill is the largest and oldest Osage Orange Tree in America. It has a span of ninety feet and stands fifty-four feet high.
Estimated to be 350 to 400 years old, the tree is listed in the American Forestry Hall of Fame, is a Virginia State Champion, and is a National Champion.
Named after the Osage Indians who used the wood for bows, the Osage Orange produces large, green inedible fruit, commonly called "mock oranges" or hedge apples."

I was reintroduced to Osage oranges this past Christmas as they were used in a house decoration. There aren't many lest in my neck of the woods, at least I cant find any. They are fascinating and I'll keep looking till I find some. I'd like to find some seeds or small trees suitable for planting. Is there such a thing? Thanks for any info you can send me.
