You’re not talking about hedge balls are you? They look alot like those.

We call them “crab apples”. Or “Osage orange”

My grandfather said the family used the pawpaw to kill mites and fleas, around the turn of the last century (1900s). It had medicinal properties for his older brother who had asthma. They made a poltice from the crush fruit, for skin irritations.

IIRC hedgeballs have the same knobby texture on the outside, but the smell of a hedgeball would keep someone from biting into it I would think.
