Hedge Apples en masse

Green Glamour  
Oh! how we love the day the hearty Hedge Apple (or Osage Orange) tree begins dropping fruit en masse.  
Their outlandish color and fresh, astringent fragrance brings a breath of fresh air to the room when the doors are kept closed to block the cold.




















We like to pile them high in any vessel, tray or trough.

A spot of chartreuse goes a long way when the skies turn grey.


For more information on these Osage Orange trees look for the post "Trees of Splendor" in the botany section.
