OSAGE ORANGE

Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) is a deciduous tree that is native to Oklahoma and Texas. The tree gets its name from the orange-colored fruit it produces, which is about the size of an orange. Osage Orange wood is dense and strong, making it ideal for fence posts and other construction projects. The wood is also resistant to rot and insect damage, making it a popular choice for outdoor furniture. In addition to its practical applications, Osage Orange wood is also beautiful, with a yellow-orange color that makes it stand out from other woods. For these reasons, Osage Orange has long been a popular choice for both functional and decorative purposes.
