you can take this sap from the hedge apple dehydrate it at about 140° into a paste mix it with smashed up green wild plantain that works good for mild cuts and insect bites and bee stings just by applying it over the area recommended two or three times a day I have also used it as an insect repellent but come to find out it doesn't work very good for spiders you can also use the oil from the Hedge Apple leaves and fruit as a flying insect repellent I don't know if anyone else has done this but I have myself it works pretty good for camping trips better than most insect sprays you Buy in the stores you just have to try this remedy for yourself but I am going to say that there is a possibility that some people could have a allergic reaction as with anything you use
Sir,you haven't searched enough!Horses,cows,hogs and squirrels eat hedge apples.Hedge apples are also used to cure cancer!These trees grow in the south,lots in Tennessee.
Thanks for sharing the info. These trees are very rare in my area and my knowledge of them is very limited. It’s always appreciated when more info can be added by people who know more than I do
Hello I'm new to your channel. We have hedge apples here in Kansas and I've always been told they were poisonous. Well I'd probably disagree. I've heard this about them. People eat them for cancer and they actually do look like a cancer cell. I'm not a doctor but I can tell you this. I picked one up washed it, wrapped it in a newspaper and froze it. I took it out of the freezer and shredded a bit off the outside of it and ate it about a teaspoon, my husband about flipped watching me LOL. It reminds me of a kiwi and watermelon cross in taste, I was surprised. I know I shouldn't have but I did.
It’s my understanding that the seeds are edible, but the flesh still has the ability to irritate people who are sensitive to latex, so it’s probably not a great idea to consume it in large quantities. The seeds are perfectly edible but by the time you harvest enough to make a meal out of it you have wasted a lot of time. Hopefully your experience afterward wasn’t too too bad.
I grew up in St. Catharines & Osage orange grows wild in the area & through out any remaining areas of Carolinian forests in southern Ontario. Specifically above the escarpment & south towards Lake Erie. 👍🏼✌🏼
I don’t know very much about them, which I think I mentioned in the video, but I do know that they’re full of latex. I don’t know of too many creatures that can stomach something like that. I have to admit I’m surprised pigs won’t eat them though. I kind of thought pigs could eat just about anything
🐴Come to misery😜 … Missouri we have them every were, hedge trees , fence rows wind blocks😀 My Horse would come to a dead halt to reach down and CHOMP one in half Natives use the Osage Orange hedge wood to ale bows🐎🐎🐎
There was one of these trees in the neighborhood I grew up in. My buddies and I used to line them up across the street and watch cars smash them. So many would fall off that tree every year.
So it can be used for bandaids bandaids i mix the latex with pinesap and cattail slime and use thin strips of grass i have small thing of it i turned into a natural gluestick which i did in college to make some money from vegan students
Yeah the Osage Indians used to make bows out of it, and they were very feared for their archery prowess among the other tribes. It's somewhat difficult to get a stave with the right grain. But it's good wood for making miscellaneous items out of because it's tough and attractive. You don't need to stain it. The most interesting thing about this tree I think is the following. There used to be SOME type of animal that used to eat that fruit so as to disperse the seeds. That is why plants produce fruit -- to appeal to some animal. Something was running around eating those things, but is now extinct. I wonder just what that animal was. Some kind of ground sloth? A prehistoric rhino? Just what?
So, this is a cool video. I had one of these trees at my school as a kid. I always wondered what it was. What I read on the internet was that latex could be used and an alternative coagulant for making farm cheese as opposed to rennet. Fig shoots and milkweed also contain lots of latex. I've never tried it, so do your own research. I did not know that it was a bug repellant.
Thank you for the kind words. Of all my videos I think this is the one I get the most negative comments on, so it’s nice for a positive one here and there. That’s very interesting piece of information about latex being used to coagulate cheese, and I will certainly look into that as soon as I have more time. Thank you very much for that.
I know that flying squirrels will eat the seeds of this fruit. I lived in DC area, northern Virginia, and left some of these fruits in my woods, and at night something comes out and eats them. I used a live trap to figure out that it was flying squirrels.
Very rot resistant, there are 100 +yr old fence post still in good service today . As far as a good bow wood Osage is one of best (also the highest BTU output of all N American hardwood) there is no best bow wood, some are favored more than most,the most important thing is ,bow wood is design specific
You may want to know your subject matter a little better before making your videos. Hedge (the wood) are VERY good for fence posts, the thorns, which are very nasty can be made into needles and (the wood) is really the best you can use in a woodstove or fireplace. You better be ready, though, it makes a VERY hot fire. But it lasts a good long time and reduces itself to a fine ash....
I recently learned what causes cancer and most other diseases, ingested animal fats and proteins. It's so simple but most people don't know this or have no desire to believe that humans are meant to be herbivores. A few years ago at age 50, I was one of them but now my arteries are clean of plaque and my cancer symptoms are gone.
As usual an education gained Wolf. Must say I’ve never seen one of these but now, when I do; I’ll know more than I would’ve. And hey, please don’t be put off by the arrogant comment of that Egg head dude. Knowledge intimidates some people Dave. How you can be negative to someone’s sharing the wealth of knowledge? Geez. Anyway, I too noticed the new camp coat - good choice against this particular backdrop too. Those toxic green splatters blended right in! Czech huh!! Glad to see this vid my brother, keep em comin. We still workin on the portable basecamp? I might be able to use one. I’ll email the application I’m referencing. Great job as usual
I wasn't bothered by the comment. It's a legitimate suggestion. I think the portable basecamp is done but I do want to do at least an overnight soon to test it out. As soon as I do I will be posting a video with a complete list with measurements of everything in it.
I'm sorry bro I was really interested but I can't stand how slow you talk. I dont know if it's because you want longer videos or if you genuinely have trouble with speech. Couldn't bear to finish the video even though I was super interested. Work on this please.
I know just what you mean. I’m trying to improve that but when I’m doing it is when I’m concentrating on more than one thing and I don’t even notice I’m doing it. Thanks for the reminder though.
Brook Eggleston A better video camera with a decent microphone wind is definitely something that I would like to have. Unfortunately it’s not quite in my budget, and my UA-cam channel would have to grow substantially in order for me to justify being able to do that. Nevertheless I appreciate the comment, and I have bought a pop up shelter to put the camera in. Hopefully that will be enough for now.
Brook Eggleston The late text coming out of this plant is indeed a very bad skin irritant. I just found that out yesterday when I found a decent website that had more information then I knew, and a lot more information than most of the website I had looked at previously
With all the educational material he puts and just put out in this particular video, THAT is what you choose to waste comment space on?!? Move on Egghead
@@vfrshooter I considered the comment as constructive criticism instead of being rude or ignorant. They do have a point, the wind is pretty annoying. A ton of videos never make to my channel because of too much wind. It's all good.
I have one of these in my yard in Tennessee. Never knew what it was. Thanks for the info on a 20 year mystery on my property !
Covfefe Kim always happy to know I was a help to someone. Thanks for sharing.

That’s Awesome. Thanks very much for the information.
Really enjoyed your video and learned something. All I ever knew about this horse apple is that it hurts when somebody throws it at you.

I’ve never seen hedge apples, thanks for sharing!
their also known as a horse apple!
My first thought when you said latex was to chop it up boil it down and extract that actual latex and see what you can do if you refine the stuff

@@wolfinthewildssurvival2765 Actually I have a very sensitive stomach and didn't notice any difference, but maybe I didn't eat enough to bother me.
thanks for info brother
I grew up in St. Catharines & Osage orange grows wild in the area & through out any remaining areas of Carolinian forests in southern Ontario. Specifically above the escarpment & south towards Lake Erie. 👍🏼✌🏼
You can eat em, they just do not taste good, other than toasting the seeds
dam thats a pretty cool jacket
Thanks. It a czech republic military surplus jacket. I found it at a second hand store for a few bucks.
Yes eat them they have amazing health benefits!!!!!!.... look it up on how to eat them the right way!!!
Good question ❓😮
Osage Orange sticky anti-spider remedy. North American Indians made Bows out of the wood too.
Used to have one of these on a hill behind my grandpas house in North Central West Virginia. Horses, cows, pigs... nothing liked them that I knew of.
I don’t know very much about them, which I think I mentioned in the video, but I do know that they’re full of latex. I don’t know of too many creatures that can stomach something like that.

I remember the same thing, they were ranned over in my neighborhood and said to be useless
So it can be used for bandaids bandaids i mix the latex with pinesap and cattail slime and use thin strips of grass i have small thing of it i turned into a natural gluestick which i did in college to make some money from vegan students
i almost bought them at the store,my mom said there not to eat,there to keep spiders away in basements

We call em horse apples. When we were kids, we'd collect a bunch and throw them at each other. They'll bruise you up pretty bad.

A osage orange hedge apple horse apple trap 4 hornet fans.
Had a huge hedge apple tree by my elementary school as a kid. We were told they were poisonous and to not touch them lol
They just didn't want kids trying to eat them. You can touch them and even eat the seeds.
They are a member of the mulberry family.
Thanks where can i get hedge apples also capitolism doesnt work thanks!
Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas seems to be where they grow most. Other places often plant them for their decorative appearance.
Since my school has one I got it but it taste like nothing and smells like latex
No medicinal value? I beg to differ. 2 tbsp of frozen grated hedge apple is supposed to be good for curing certain cancers.
Cures wood hornet insurance & property damage medicines them well.®©
This is good for cancer!
? I hear that is good for everything

Can’t really listen to someone talking about ‘Osage Oranges”, when they can’t even pronounce “Osage” and calls them “pretty rare.”
stilltuckered there is plenty of other channels you can watch bud. And I said they were rare in my area.
Шта је то на српском?
Ово сам нашао поред реке
Jel jestiva, koristi se nešto od nje?
@Hitsugaya Jestivo he sjeme ako se pravilno pripremi. Nisan to znao kada sam napravio video. I ovdje je to rijetko.
.... "They are kinda rare" bro.... quit lying to people.
Pretty sure I said they were rare in “my area”.
I think I actually learned less from a video.
If you have information that I don’t please share. I’m here to learn just the same as anyone else.
This video is embarrassing
