Inedible Fence Posts
Earlier in America history, some grew plants like the Osage Orange tree as a natural hedge to kept critters and nosy neighbors out.
If you ever come across the Osage Orange, it looks like pebbly faced, mutant green grapefruit. It is not edible so don't be tempted. It is reputed to have some insect repelling properties so as long as your kids and animals don't try to eat it you might want to keep a few around.
Osage Oranges are numbered amongst the strange plants in the world. Some other are dragon fruit, blood oranges and the delicious monster.

- Some say that there is something that can choke a horse-an Osage Orange. You will sometimes hear that farm animals get the fruit caught in their throats. Nevertheless, squirrels will sometimes rip away the flesh of the fruit to get at the seeds.

When you first see the fruit you may wonder if it is edible. It is not. I looks like a bumpy grapefruit. What is true is that the trees were used as a kind of prairie fence before the advent of barbed wire.
