I have about half of a 5 gallon bucket full of osage orange tree seeds that are ready to plant. In case you are unaware, osage orange (aka Hedge) is a thorny, bush/tree that is almost impervious to disease/insects. It makes great fences and fence posts and is relatively fast growing-up to 2’ per year. However, it can be a bit unruly. You have to be sure you want hedge trees before you plant hedge trees.
I saved a bunch of hedge balls last fall and over wintered them in buckets. I vastly overestimated how many I needed and now have way more than I can use. I live in the Bentley area, but commute to Wichita daily. You can text me at 316.204.8224 if interested.
How many do you need? Well, we planted a 1" cube of goo (10-12 seeds) about every 3’ along our property line. A softball sized handful covered about 50’. I don’t know if they will sprout, but if you would like to join the experiment, I would be happy to share.

Whatever seeds were left are gone now. Between the wind, mice and squirrels, they are no more.
