Lots of Indian Cigar and grapevine in the PJs huh?

There was along the RR tracks and sidings that bordered them.

BIKER13 for the win. Also called Hedge. The wood is absolutely beautiful when turned and burned. Makes great duck calls.

American Indians preferred the wood for bows. I know where some trees are in Polk county.

Tifoliate oranges.
Tri-three leaf pods, thorns , acidic if eaten a lot, Causes really Bad stomach irritation, lots of thorns, pretty if anything.
Native to China.
Just more crap they brought here from China in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s just like the blight that destroyed the American Chestnut trees that once proliferated in our woods.

Interesting. We have thorny trees (Hawethorn) at the gun club and they are very difficult to remove. I have a scar on my cheek from the damned things.

We have Osage Orange trees too that were planted along the fence line of a long abandoned home site. I have allowed special guests to harvest limbs for bows. They are beatiful works.

I’ve got two chestnuts on my place that are both a lot older than I thought they’d ever get. I come across the old giant stumps every now and again too. Sad.
