A few osage oranges (Maclura pomifera tree) are still hanging by the Site 50 barn entrance from Batavia Road. The fruits are not generally eaten, and human use is limited to the tree’s wood, for instance in bow making.
Last month’s snow took some by surprise. These lovely, snow-tufted trees, captured a year ago, on Oct. 30, 2019, remind us that sometimes in October, snow happens. And it can be beautiful.
