lfiskOsage Orange tree fruit. As a kid I quickly learned you'll get all sticky gooey if you try handling them or crack one open to find out what's inside😬
An old book tends to agree with my guess. You may find this book of interest if not already familiar. A bit dated but a unique source for this kind of stuff😐
Ranger Dan@lfisk as a naitive of #Oklahoma and #nature guy who loves these fruits as an oddity and beautiful, they are also known to be relatively effective ast repelling roaches. Unfortunately I had an opportunity to tst that theory and it seemed to work. BTW, parts of #Oklahoma prairies are beautiful #Indian paintbrush #wildflowers
@rangerdan Nice pic👍
A neighbor would gather a few to put in their basement. They were led to believe the fruit would repel spiders. It piqued my interest... Couldn't find any scientific or fact based evidence that it works. Just common folklore🤷♂️
