Osage Orange seeds are about the size, shape, and color of cucumber seeds.  They are located in a spherical arrangement about 1/3 of the way from the center to the surface of the fruit.  I have occasionally had small OOs that had few or no seeds, the larger fruits have always had many, perhaps 50-80, seeds in each.  I have three female and two male trees - the male trees form a clonal colony that keeps putting up rootsprouts.

What do the seeds look like? I obtained a fruit a few years ago in a fencerow beside the highway near Montgomery, AL. It was mature but, but uncured. I couldn't locate an individual seed inside it and when it dried, I couldn't find seeds, either!

I’d suspect you might find ‘em cheaper from a state forestry nursery or a big outfit like Lawyers, but I know Musser Forest has ‘em.

Easy to grow from seed if you can find some bletted fruits – or take Jerry up on his offer.

for seedlings.



I can send you fruits laying on the ground and you could extract the seeds yourself. I should be able to find fruits that were somewhat protected from the near zero temps we had. The birds and squirrels have been extracting seeds.
