Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the Osage orange, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub, typically growing to tall. The distinctive fruit, from a multiple fruit family, is roughly spherical, bumpy, in diameter, and turns a bright yellow-green in the fall. The fruits exude a sticky white latex when cut or damaged. Despite the name "Osage orange", it is only very distantly related to the orange, and is instead a member of the mulberry family, Moraceae.
