Yes it does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osage-orange
No, it doesnt! below this answer was 2 or 3 sites showing actual small crabapples. those crabapples are small, sour, but edible. they are good for cooking.
the apple from a bois d'arc or bodark, is large, hard, very rough and knotty. and is NOT edible! its not much of an apple at all. just a large , rough, green "ball". The "fruit" of the Osage Orange is sometimes referred to as a "horse apple" This is quite different from a crab apple
How long does a flowering crabapple tree live?
Dicot
There is a chemical that is used in Florida to spray fruit trees to make them produce less fruit. This same chemical can be sprayed on bodark to stop production of balls. It has to be sprayed each year. Ask a qualified tree service rep.
Malus floribunda
~30 years
Osage Orange is also called Bodark, Bodark oak, hedge oak. ( it's not an oak ) It's fruit is often called horse apples and hedge apples... so some ppl refer to the tree as 'horse apple tree' or 'hedge apple tree'. The green fruit is not edible, but the seeds are.
/what type of climate dose a crab apple tree live in
Go to a wholesale nursery and ask for Spring Snow Crabapple (Malus 'Spring Snow'). They do not bear fruit.
Yes, If you hear someone say "horse apples" they mean bodark apples! Horses LOVE them!
