Hi folks, hope you all enjoyed your Easter break. I went to Adelaide for a few days to visit the family and found this beautiful big osage orange tree in the botanic gardens...
I planted a few out at home over xmas that I've grown from seed, think it will be a while before they get this big
The fruit were a lot bigger than I expected, maybe 6" diameter. The trunk would have been nearly 2' thick and beautifully straight............

They are a pest along the MacIntyre River in NSW
Re: Osage in Adelaide botanic gardens
Hello Feral, just where along the river are they a pest.
There may be some appropriate people here able to assist in the removal of such pests.
