And yes, I can see an Osage Orange (Bodark) tree from my porch! (If anyone wonders, Osage Orange wood was used by American Indians to make Bows, therefore “BoisD’Arc”.
(I cannot see the Osage Cuesta from here however! (almost!)
“North of the Cherokee Lowlands is the Osage Cuesta (pronounced kwesta) region. Cuestas have a steep slope on one side and gentler slopes on the other sides. Cuesta is the Spanish word for cliff.”

“Hedgeapples, the fruit of the Osage orange plant, is a natural cockroach repellent. While the oil in the fruit isn’t strong enough to actually kill the insects or keep them away from a very large area, the fruit provides a natural way to keep small areas cockroach-free and may help keep the roaches from entering your house. If you have an Osage orange hedge in your yard, this old-time remedy is worth trying.”
