Never got any osage orange before i think today mite be my lucky day…seen on my way home from work on side of the road no where near Anyone’s residence so I quickly spun around threw the blinkers on and grabbed every piece
Yeah prolly the same person that got the 5 or 6 hickory rounds on the same street last week…didnt grab em cause i was on my way in to work and didnt have anytime to spare shoulda just grabbed it and been 5 mins late
Bark has a mulberry look to it, but as stated you done good either way. The heartwood will gradually turn to a darker reddish brown. Not familiar with how osage weathers over time. Mulberry rare score for me and would love to get more. Nice grab RB!
I have been curious as to how that sapling was coming along. Looks good. There appears to be another one coming also. How many seeds did you put in there ?
I put 3 seeds in there if I remember right. Only the one came up though. That other little sprout is actually a date palm from a medjool date pit I put in for the heck of it. Once it warms up I’ll have to transition the Osage outdoors and keep the palm as a houseplant.
When green hedge ( Osage orange ) will be yellow in color , as it seasons it will turn a rich reddish brown. I have been cutting on a fence row last couple of weeks , all hedge probably four or five cord. That is mulberry in the picture first cousin to hedge. Good wood ya will want to save that for them real cold nights. Mix it with something else cause it will burn bout like coal.
