Welcome to Osage Orange Tree, your local haven for all things inspired by the iconic Maclura pomifera. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan at 347 East 118th Street, our business celebrates the rich history and unique characteristics of the Osage orange tree, a remarkable species native to the south-central United States. At Osage Orange Tree, we embrace the fascinating story of this small deciduous tree, also known by many names including hedge apple, horse apple, and bois d'arc, or "bow-wood." Historically, the Osage orange served as a natural fence for American settlers, providing a thorny barrier that was "horse-high, bull-strong, and pig-tight." Its wood was highly prized by Native American tribes such as the Osage and Comanche for making durable and flexible bows.
