    Selling Osage oranges, hedge balls etc

    There is a local guy in Iowa that buys hedge balls for 180 a ton! I have not looked into this yet, but I don't think it would take long to gather a ton. Anyone else ever heard of selling these?

    Ive never heard of a hedge ball. What is it?
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Osage orange , hedge ball. There are a few different names for them. They come from hedge trees. They are about the size of a softball and yellowish in color. The things people put in their basement to ward off spiders

    We have them here. The wood from the tree is valuable also, it's very strong. Some people make bows from the tree.
