Does an osage orange drop a lot of debris?
Female trees drop grapefruit-to-softball-sized green hedge apples in fall, heavy enough to dent hoods and crack windshields on anything parked beneath, and they rot down into a slick mess on lawns and drives. Thorny twig litter is the second complaint — it punctures mower tires and makes hand raking genuinely unpleasant.
How much tree is dropping it
Typically 35–50 ft tall with a wide, low, irregular crown, living well past 100 years. Removal runs high relative to its modest height because the wood is extremely dense and hard on chains, and the thorns slow down every single stage of the job from rigging to dragging brush.
