Ok I have now got the hedge apples, cut and in place. They seem to be doing their job as I haven't seen too many spiders lately. Thank goodness!!! :D BUT what else are they good for?? Any ideas??

;-)
 
If you plant them, in a lot of years you'll have great fence posts to cut.

Yes those types of trees do put off more heat. But you have to be real careful. If you fill a wood stove with only hedge, you could burn up the stove, the house.

Are hedge apples the same thing as horse apples? They look like big oranges except they're green...............?

The horse apples I'm familiar with are green but they sure don;t look like big oranges!
 
Got a friend that mills it and makes outdoor furiture with it.
Will last forever but it takes two grown men to move a chair.
Your right about the fence posts. But when you cut them you will come out looking like you were in a cat fight. They have some of the most agressive thorns I have ever been attacked with. (When mowing pasture)
 
I've heard that they're not good for horses, but my old country horse just loves them. My neighbor has a tree that overhangs the fence, and that's his favorite spot during horse apple season. Haven't noticed any ill effects. Probably wouldn't be good for a city horse, though.
 
My great-grandparents had 80 acres cut into twenty acre paddocks with hedge separating the fields. The hedge were cut back, allowed to grow into whips, then woven to form a barrier. The hedge fences were described as bull strong, hog tight and horse high. There are still huge hedgerows here in the Midwest.
 
I dozed them right along with the mesquite, cedar, and elm. Left the pecans. BIL sent me a link that shows how much the wood is worth. Too late. I already burned it all.

When pushing them, the tree under the bark was bright orange.
 
Dun, the ones here are bigger then an orange, closer to the size of a grapefruit.

Inside the bark is bright yellow. After they have been cut and dry you can't drive a nail or staple in them so if your going to use them as fence post make sure and set them green.

Don;t think a horse could pass an apple that big
