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?
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.
~30 years
Malus floribunda
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!
Yes, the Crabapple on a Sugar Tyme tree is edible. Sugar Tyme crabapples are known for their sweeter flavor compared to other crabapple varieties, making them suitable for raw consumption, cooking, or making preserves. However, they can still be quite tart, so it's best to taste them first and consider their use in recipes.
The bark of a crabapple tree is typically grayish-brown and has a somewhat rough texture. As the tree matures, the bark may develop fissures and become darker in color. In some varieties, the bark can also exhibit a slightly reddish hue. Overall, the bark contributes to the tree's ornamental appeal, especially in winter.
Crabapple trees are dicots, which means they belong to the class of angiosperms that have two seed leaves upon germination. This classification is based on the number of cotyledons present in the seed.
