        Maclura pomifera
        The Osage Orange grows to be 30-50'. Leaf blades are dark green, smooth and waxy above, paler green with a few hairs beneath. The color turns translucent yellow in the fall. Large fruits appear on female trees. Its wood was once in demand for making hubs and wheel rims for horse drawn wagons.
