You lucky dogs. I live in Georgia and have never seen an Osage orange tree. I'm using hickory for my selfbows. I have plenty of hickory if someone wants to trade.

This was one of many trees in a long hedgerow near Valley Forge in PA. Straight bole for 30'. Hiking trail ram alongside and there were dozens of trees like this one. Kept finding hedge apples and it took me a minute to realize these giants were Osage. I'm 6'4".

An old friend has a hug osage tree growing on his property. It's the only one I can recall seeing in NY. Must have been planted years ago on that old farm. The house there had been one of the first ones built in the area. It had a cupaloon the top of the house. Iv' been told the oldest houses had these for watching out for the Iroquios.   :dunno:
