Oddest looking fruit next to dragonfruit.

Apparently it had many uses, wondering if anyone has any info personally.

We are not growing any here, but we used Osage orange for fence posts on a previous farm. I have also heard they repel cockroaches so we had a few rolling around the house for a while - didn't see any cockroaches inside, but then we seldom do.

Horse apples. I have a little plant, but need to move it, too much shade from nearby trees and it's just in the way. I brought a fruit home once and a stray seed must have germinated. Then I didn't recognize what the plant was for quite a while.
