As mentioned, the yellow tree was an ancient osage orange. Great for fencing, thorns on them like needles. Root around and see if you can find some fruit, get the seeds and plant it if you wish.

Ricki we called them hedge apples 🍏 here in Kentucky are they one and the same?
@Rickimusic4 жыл бұрын
@@shittylitty Yup, different parts of the country call em different things. I brought some from Maryland and planted em North of Allentown PA and they did really well as fence lines. Rabbits and grouse love to hide in them. We have too many foxes. Then we used them in NC. They are doing just fine. I like em cause they are not at all invasive like some plants. Seeds germinate well and if set right, nothing will get through a hedge of osage orange. Their wood is prized and very expensive. Chris probably broke $300 worth. lol

Chris, that was a Yellowwood tree. I read some call it Virgilia. It's native and fairly rare. I'd imagine the price is good. 😉 When you finished off the barn and grabbed that huge bucket full for the truck my respect for the 250, and the difference between it and the 220, went up a notch. I wonder big a tree a 380 could pull up by the roots. 🤔

The gnarly tree appears to be, or was, an Osage Orange. The color is right and the twisted massive root structure is right. As a teen we cleared a quarter mile of fence row populated with those dratted trees. The only thing they are good for is making turned bowls for decoration. They suck as fence posts and are pitiful as firewood. Thanks for the video on a cold and rainy night here in Virginia.

That yellow wood tree is called: Osage Orange, Bois-D'arc, Hedge Apple, & Horse Apple, depending on who you are listening to. The French called it Bois-D'arc because it was used for making bows for bows and arrows. It's also called hedge apple because it was used for making hedgerows for cattle containment before barbed wire was invented; it has long thorns and can be grown into thick hedge rows.
