Osage Orange

The Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera)


A common and interesting plant found in many areas of the continental US.  It has a long history and many uses, to learn more about it click here.  Over the years I have photographed assorted birds feeding on the fruit of this tree…

There is always something new to see, and learn, from nature.
