Narrative

The native range for Osage-orange is reported from eastern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, southwestern Arkansas, and the northwestern corner of Louisiana (Little, 1971). Historically and presently known for its extreme value as bow-wood and fence posts, Osage-orange represents one of the most widely planted tree species in the lower 48 US states as a living fence starting in the mid-1800's, in the late 1900's as a landscape tree for difficult sites, and most recently it's chemical properties. Detailed history of Osage-orange and it's economic uses are well documented (Smith and Perino, 1981 and J. T. Winberry 1979). Osage wood is highly-prized for its use as fence posts (both living and non-living) and durable wood for wood working. Osage is an extremely drought and heat tolerant tree and is recommended for use in USDA cold-hardiness zones 5b or warmer. Although the species is commonly known for it's stout thorns and large, globular fruits, the species is dioecious and the degree of thorns on individual genotypes can be extremely variable. This collection represents germplasm from a naturalizing, reproductive population collected in central Iowa (Polk County). Majority of specimens averaged approximately 40-50’ in height with multiple (e.g. 4-5) trunks. Specimens 03-1 and 03-2 were upright in form with tighter branch angles, while 03-10 was the widest spreading of all trees. Some yellow fall color apparent at time of fruit collection (10/05/2016). Size of fruits ranged from 9.00 to 10.75 inches circumference except for tree 03-5 with fruits averaging 7.33 inches circumference.
