Tree Hunt: Osage Orange

Middlebury possesses the state’s largest Osage Orange Tree. This is a bizarre tree that bears a yellow softball sized fruit that, while largely inedible (everything but the seeds), Parson finds “really cool.” Located near Stewart Hall, this is a fun tree to check out because of its unusual fruit. Osage Orange trees were commonly used out West as fences because their dense trunks provided for durable support.
