The trees that grow along some field boundaries in my area of the country are of interest to me. When I ask the locals about them; they say, "I don't know they have always been here". I would like to find out exactly what they are, botanical name, propagation info, etc. The locals call them Oshage orange and their fruit is referred to as Monkey Brains. They appear to be about twenty to thirty feet tall and have thorns. Any information will be appreciated.
