Maclura Pomifera (Osage Orange)
Bob407:
I have read that this is used as a rootstok for Che, Cudrania tricuspidata.
FlyingFoxFruits:
Bob,
i got a plant of this from my buddy Ed....i somehow remember reading that it could withstand a mucky planting site, (maybe from FL's best fruiting plants? by Charles Boning)
but now im reading that it doesn't appreciate such conditions....
well too bad because I already planted it in one of the most mucky locations in my yard....and there is no way I'm going to dig that thorny devil up...
I will be sure to let the group know how it handles the location...
if it does well, i will want to plant a bunch of Che grafted on this stock!
Bob407:
I have seen them in low and seasonally flooded areas growing side by side with A. trilobas which love flooding. I have no idea how they will handle your area.
edself65:

A very tough adaptable plant. Makes a great rootstock for che.
