Maybe mock orange is bowdock, but Osage Orange is bois d'arc
(bodock).

Same wood, goes by many names even in my area of the southeast.

Most of us here in Texas call it "bodark". ?Back in Missouri we called
them "hedge apple trees".

Particularly useful for cooking utensils that are going to be put in the
dishwasher.

Interesting. ?I've found the same thing to be true of Honey Locust.

My post wasn't meant to be a challenge, a correction or that I was
being rude. My frame of mind, at the time, was meant to be
informative (bois d'arc) and light hearted. I am aware osage orange
has many other names. Mock orange, however, is a particular flowering
shrub many folks have on their lawns as lawn decor, not the tree, as
osage orange is. That difference could have been confusing, for
some. I had assumed the post was in reference to osage orange. I
apologize, basilisk, if I sounded rude.

Same for me if I sounded defensive, but no offense was taken.
