Other: The Hedge Apple tree ranges from a small tree to a large shrub with spiny branches and unique bark. It is commonly utilized as a windbreak or for fence rows due to its robust structure. The fruit is characterized by a bumpy, not smooth, bright yellow-green skin and is about 3 – 6 inches in diameter. Although not poisonous, the fruit is generally not consumed. The wood of the Hedge Apple tree is dense, making it ideal for fence posts and valued for its slow-burning properties in fires. Additionally, the tree has medicinal uses, can be used to produce dyes, and its fruit is often used in decorative arrangements.
