This belief isn't supported by
scientific evidence but is widely
held, particularly in the
Midwest. Demand for hedge
apples is such that many
grocery stores sell them each

tree, known as osage orange,
was planted to create fence
rows before barbed wire was
invented, but it is not a
recommended ornamental tree.
