Maclura pomifera (Osage Orange) - Study

[hemmy]

I’m still not sure if the “daughter” truck is a keeper. It needs to run and thicken. I also dislike the wound at the base on the current front.

I also dislike how flat the branches got. I’ll wire some more upward movement!

Ill post mine when they wake up.

I have one that has no real interest that maybe will get the choppy this year.

I believe this is a root cutting that was further twisted. The large scar at the bottom from a sacrifice branch removal.

I donated this one at auction, it wasn’t getting enough attention and my winter storage is overcrowded as everything grows larger. Zoom in and you can see that the sacrifice branch scar has not healed much in 4 years. I have some others with scars, that I will rewound and apply rooting hormone or one of the magic Japanese cut pastes.
