I have one of these in my yard in Tennessee. Never knew what it was. Thanks for the info on a 20 year mystery on my property !

Ate one of these and got weird powers

Osage Orange sticky anti-spider remedy. North American Indians made Bows out of the wood too.

Sir,you haven't searched enough!Horses,cows,hogs and squirrels eat hedge apples.Hedge apples are also used to cure cancer!These trees grow in the south,lots in Tennessee.

You can eat em, they just do not taste good, other than toasting the seeds

I grew up in St. Catharines & Osage orange grows wild in the area & through out any remaining areas of Carolinian forests in southern Ontario. Specifically above the escarpment & south towards Lake Erie. 👍🏼✌🏼

dam thats a pretty cool jacket

I’ve never seen hedge apples, thanks for sharing!

their also known as a horse apple!

Hello I'm new to your channel. We have hedge apples here in Kansas and I've always been told they were poisonous. Well I'd probably disagree. I've heard this about them. People eat them for cancer and they actually do look like a cancer cell. I'm not a doctor but I can tell you this. I picked one up washed it, wrapped it in a newspaper and froze it. I took it out of the freezer and shredded a bit off the outside of it and ate it about a teaspoon, my husband about flipped watching me LOL. It reminds me of a kiwi and watermelon cross in taste, I was surprised. I know I shouldn't have but I did.

No medicinal value? I beg to differ. 2 tbsp of frozen grated hedge apple is supposed to be good for curing certain cancers.

you can take this sap from the hedge apple dehydrate it at about 140° into a paste mix it with smashed up green wild plantain that works good for mild cuts and insect bites and bee stings just by applying it over the area recommended two or three times a day I have also used it as an insect repellent but come to find out it doesn't work very good for spiders you can also use the oil from the Hedge Apple leaves and fruit as a flying insect repellent I don't know if anyone else has done this but I have myself it works pretty good for camping trips better than most insect sprays you Buy in the stores you just have to try this remedy for yourself but I am going to say that there is a possibility that some people could have a allergic reaction as with anything you use

My first thought when you said latex was to chop it up boil it down and extract that actual latex and see what you can do if you refine the stuff

Yes eat them they have amazing health benefits!!!!!!.... look it up on how to eat them the right way!!!

thanks for info brother

Really enjoyed your video and learned something. All I ever knew about this horse apple is that it hurts when somebody throws it at you.

Used to have one of these on a hill behind my grandpas house in North Central West Virginia. Horses, cows, pigs... nothing liked them that I knew of.

There was one of these trees in the neighborhood I grew up in. My buddies and I used to line them up across the street and watch cars smash them. So many would fall off that tree every year.

🐴Come to misery😜 … Missouri we have them every were, hedge trees , fence rows wind blocks😀 My Horse would come to a dead halt to reach down and CHOMP one in half Natives use the Osage Orange hedge wood to ale bows🐎🐎🐎

Yeah the Osage Indians used to make bows out of it, and they were very feared for their archery prowess among the other tribes. It's somewhat difficult to get a stave with the right grain. But it's good wood for making miscellaneous items out of because it's tough and attractive. You don't need to stain it. The most interesting thing about this tree I think is the following. There used to be SOME type of animal that used to eat that fruit so as to disperse the seeds. That is why plants produce fruit -- to appeal to some animal. Something was running around eating those things, but is now extinct. I wonder just what that animal was. Some kind of ground sloth? A prehistoric rhino? Just what?

I love survival reels with heavy traffic noise. Ads to the realism and credibility.

So, this is a cool video. I had one of these trees at my school as a kid. I always wondered what it was. What I read on the internet was that latex could be used and an alternative coagulant for making farm cheese as opposed to rennet. Fig shoots and milkweed also contain lots of latex. I've never tried it, so do your own research. I did not know that it was a bug repellant.

Very rot resistant, there are 100 +yr old fence post still in good service today . As far as a good bow wood Osage is one of best (also the highest BTU output of all N American hardwood) there is no best bow wood, some are favored more than most,the most important thing is ,bow wood is design specific

I know that flying squirrels will eat the seeds of this fruit. I lived in DC area, northern Virginia, and left some of these fruits in my woods, and at night something comes out and eats them. I used a live trap to figure out that it was flying squirrels.

Good question ❓😮

Had a huge hedge apple tree by my elementary school as a kid. We were told they were poisonous and to not touch them lol

You may want to know your subject matter a little better before making your videos. Hedge (the wood) are VERY good for fence posts, the thorns, which are very nasty can be made into needles and (the wood) is really the best you can use in a woodstove or fireplace. You better be ready, though, it makes a VERY hot fire. But it lasts a good long time and reduces itself to a fine ash....

Since my school has one I got it but it taste like nothing and smells like latex

As usual an education gained Wolf. Must say I’ve never seen one of these but now, when I do; I’ll know more than I would’ve. And hey, please don’t be put off by the arrogant comment of that Egg head dude. Knowledge intimidates some people Dave. How you can be negative to someone’s sharing the wealth of knowledge? Geez. Anyway, I too noticed the new camp coat - good choice against this particular backdrop too. Those toxic green splatters blended right in! Czech huh!! Glad to see this vid my brother, keep em comin. We still workin on the portable basecamp? I might be able to use one. I’ll email the application I’m referencing. Great job as usual

This is good for cancer! ? I hear that is good for everything

Thanks where can i get hedge apples also capitolism doesnt work thanks!

I'm sorry bro I was really interested but I can't stand how slow you talk. I dont know if it's because you want longer videos or if you genuinely have trouble with speech. Couldn't bear to finish the video even though I was super interested. Work on this please.

Please buy a windscreen for your microphone! The sound is very annoying! Latex burns.

Takes too long to deliver whatever message he has.

Шта је то на српском?

.... "They are kinda rare" bro.... quit lying to people.

Can’t really listen to someone talking about ‘Osage Oranges”, when they can’t even pronounce “Osage” and calls them “pretty rare.”

I think I actually learned less from a video.

This video is embarrassing
