## Description

Lot of 3 Healthy Osage Orange tree (Maclura pomifera) starter plugs - not bareroot. Maclura pomifera, commonly called Osage orange, hedge apple, horse apple, monkey ball, bois d'arc, bodark, or bodockis a small deciduous tree or large shrub, typically growing to 8–15 metres (26–49 ft) tall. It is a Carolinian species. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on different plants. The fruit, from a multiple fruit family, is roughly spherical, but bumpy, and 7.6–15.2 centimetres (3–6 in) in diameter. It is filled with a sticky white latex. In fall, its color turns a bright yellow-green. Grows best in zones: 5-9 The heavy, close-grained yellow-orange wood is very dense and is prized for tool handles, treenails, fence posts, and other applications requiring a strong dimensionally stable wood that withstands rot. Straight-grained osage timber (most is knotty and twisted) makes very good bows. In Arkansas, in the early 19th century, a good Osage bow was worth a horse and a blanket. When dried, the wood has the highest BTU content of any commonly available North American wood, and burns long and hot. Commonly found to be used by florists for decorative purposes. The wood should not be used in open fireplaces without a spark screen because the wood is very prone to popping and may send sparks and small embers several feet. The wood is very durable in contact with the ground. Smaller logs make good fence posts being both strong and durable. They are generally set up green because the dried wood is too hard to reliably accept the staples used to attach the fencing to the posts. Thanks for looking! Please share this page with your friends :) The plug is approximately 1 inch diameter by approximately 2.5 inches tall. No minimum plant size is guaranteed, but they are typically approximately 1 to 3 inches, sometimes a tad smaller. These are small, just-started, tree seedlings. So, please, no complaining that the trees are small. They are starter plugs.

Review: Healthy trees - Got these a year ago. Slow growing at first but seller gave good instruction on wintering over and now they are about10 inches, healthy and ready to plant.
Review: Great little sprouts 🪴 🌱 - The 3 plants in the forefront are the 3 osage orange spouts I ordered from this vendor. I wasn't entirely sure how to grow them so I put one in full sun, one in partial sun, and one outside (in full sun and mississippi heat) and the outside one grew the least, so I've moved it inside. As you can tell- the 2 inside one's have really grown significantly. I believe I ordered them about 2 or so months ago. They came packaged wonderfully. I'm no plant expert, just have a green thumb I guess, because I didnt do anything special with these and look at them! I just put them in some small pots I had with some regular miracle grow and voila. I think they are probably getting a bit close to needing bigger pots. I really hope they're female, fruit bearing trees but we will see. I've really enjoyed growing them and it's all been pretty simple and intuitive so far. I was gone on vacation for 3 days, watered them well and they were still doing great when I came back. Thanks so much to this seller for proving me with these interesting future trees.
