Really excited after 8 years in this current house for my little #OsageOrange #trees to have produced their first fruits! So far, 6 of these grapefruit-sized beauties have fallen off these trees.

It's such a sacred tree to native peoples from this part of the world – the most prized for #bows – and the distribution probably influenced by human trade and planting. Otherwise it's fascinating for its rot-resistant wood, and that #GroundSloths probably loved these fruits.
