Tree ID, please
Comments (4)Scent supposedly lightly jasmine-like. I grow Drimys lanceolata, also blooming now, but with more of a vanilla fragrance....See MoreHelp with tree ID please
Comments (7)Try showing it from the side instead of the top. And including a shot where the entire growth habit is visible. In the meantime I continue to see a similarity to Prunus caroliniana....See MoreTree ID Please - Maple?

Comments (6)Maclura pomifera IS a member of the mulberry family, Moraceae, but quite a distinctive one. They were once very common in rural farming areas all over the US, though their native range was originally a small area in NE TX and adjoining states. They were used as hedging/fencing, as they formed impenetrable thickets when sheared. They were the original "barbed wire". Now they are generally seen as a nuisance, even a danger with their wicked thorns, and are becoming rare in many areas. In my childhood, they were quite common here. Now, I have *one* on my 105 acre farm, and it's the only one I've seen in years. One oddity of the tree is that although the species is dioecious, the female tree when grown in isolation will still bear large oranges, perfectly formed but lacking seeds (as my tree does). Another factoid: the wood of the osage orange, when dried and burned, has the highest heating value of any native North American tree. Sorry for geeking out. This tree has always fascinated me....See MoreSara Malone (Zone 9b)
