    I think that’s an osage orange. Not edible, contains natural latex, can cause skin irritation.

    We call um monkey balls where I’m from

    Looks like a hedge apple off s hedge (aka Osage Orange) tree. NOT edible.

    Do NOT eat. Wash hands.
    Do not touch face.
    Change clothes if around anyone sensitive skin.

    And yes, its osage orange.

    Seeds are edible, but not worth it. I’ve heard that it can deter spiders, so place where you don’t wish spiders. I’ve also read, wooly mammoths used to eat them. The wood is good for fences and will also burn very hot. Now ya know 😉

    Everything is edible once. I’m not eating Osage Orange thought. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 😂 it’s a nice wood for woodworking too.

    Hedge Apple, traditionally thrown from behind cover at the next kid that happens to walk down the alley.
