Description

The listing, 10 Osage Orange / Bodark Seeds has ended.

Here's 10 more seeds. Get them while you can!

This is an amazing tree! Osage (or otherwise called Bodark, horse apple, or hedge apple) grows fast yet is extremely dense and hardy.

The tree was many uses including fence posts since they don't rot, tool handles, and even for burning. When burned, Osage orange actually gives off more BTUs than any other wood.

The Native Americans prized the tree for its springy qualities for their bows.

Over time, the harvested wood darkens into a beautiful dark orange color.

Happy bidding!

It very well should! Here's what I found online...

Osage Orange, a tree introduced into Ohio during the 1800's, is commonly seen in rural areas where it frequents fields and fencerows. Its usage as a large hedge tree in a row planting and the softball-sized fruits of female trees give it the alternative common name of Hedge Apple.

Planting Requirements - The adaptability of Osage Orange to a wide range of soils (organic, clay, sandy, or rocky, with acidic or alkaline pH) and moisture levels (wet, moist, or very dry) accounts for its widespread distribution throughout the eastern, midwestern, and Great Plains areas of the United States, far beyond its native range. It is most noteworthy during prolonged hot and dry summers, when its dark green, shiny foliage never fades or wilts. Osage Orange grows in full sun to partial sun, and is found in zones 4 to 9.
