Hedge Apple

By

HedgeappleThis is called a Hedge-apple, Osage-orange, or Horse-apple. It is wild looking. We ran into these all over the ground along a spot on Skyline Drive in The Shenandoah National Park. They caught a lot of people’s attention because of their rather large size and peculiar look. I photographed this in the Fall of 2005.
