Where is the coldest you have known osage orange to grow?
Comments (6)There are lots of N american natives that sit at 4/5, depending on source. Pawpaw, shagbark hickory, osage orange, persimmion..... Then they put the "hardy to -25 to -30C, which doesnt really help either.... Thats why i was asking because you do never know. There are quite a few magnolias rated just the same. Stellata and virginiana for example. Then again there are tons of factors to think of when looking at tree hardiness anyways....See MoreOsage orange- Monkey balls keep spiders away?
Comments (6)Oh yes, I've heard it many times. I know a gal who had a pretty bad infestation of wolf spiders in her basement and applied the fruits liberally. All it accomplished was having to remove old monkey balls a few months later. Spiders live where there is food. Spider food consists of insects. You remove reasons for insects to be in your house, then you remove the spiders who eat them, for the most part. That's about as organic as it gets, no? I love those old trees, and in fact germinated some and planted them around my property, mostly because it reminds me of my childhood when hedges of them were used as livestock barriers. Now they just erect electric fence....See MoreAnyone in austin selling THORNLESS Osage orange?
Comments (0)Aka maclura Pomifera, bois d'arc, hedge apple tree? Found some nurseries in OK and WY, but struck out here. There's several thornless/fruitless varieties, and it's a TX native, so I've been pretty disappointed no nurseries carrying it. Sounds like a perfect big tree...light shade, hardwood, fast-growing, drought tolerant. May have to give up and go with a thornless honey locust... :-(...See MoreAmerican Persimmon Or Osage Orange?
Comments (3)>Looks like Ash/Fraxinus< Yep - there is actually no resemblance to either of the original suggestions. The tree also looks like it needs to be cabled together....See MoreRelated Professionals
