Known in Kansas as that stupid hedge tree. Can't swing a dead cat without hitting one here. Can't burn it in the fireplace, cause it will explode. Works good for the folks with wood stoves. Had a guy from Jersey on the golf course ask what kind of fruit is that? Yeah, nothing like Grandmas hot hedge apple pie we told him, it'll keep your cattle regular.
