No idea what Bois d'arc is...
Maclura pomifera, commonly called Osage orange, hedge apple, horse
apple, bois d'arc, bodark, or bodock. The name "bois d'arc" is thought
to come from French explorers who saw the native Americans using it for
their bows, i.e. "bow wood". We had some growing on the farm where I
grew up.
Ahhh..... I'm familiar with osage orange... thanks!
