OTHER: The Hedge Apple is a small tree
to a large shrub with spiny branches & interesting bark. It gets its name
because they’re commonly uséd as a wind break / fence row, & have bright
yellow - green round 3 - 6" fruit. Hedge Apples have bumpy skin rather
than smooth though. The fruit is not poisonous, but it’s not worth eating
either. Lol. The plant has many other uses. The wood is dense, & is uséd
for fence posts & is great for fires because it is slow burning. The plant
also has medicinal properties, is uséd to make dyes, & the fruit uséd
decoratively.
