Osage-orange (Maclura pomifera) is a small tree in which people have found great value. Once discovered by early European settlers, it was carried and tended across the continent. Because of its attributes, it was prized anywhere agriculture and grazing animals were found. It is now considered escaped from cultivation and has naturalized in many areas. Solitary trees or small family groups can be found on old home sites, in alleys, and along roadways.
