Yes those green things are called “Hedge apples”. Not for eating! They are the “fruit “of the Osage Orange Tree. 1000s of these trees were planted in Kansas and Oklahoma in hedge rows after the dust bowl. The wood is good for fence posts that will last 100+ years. If user for fire wood it pops like crazy and burn so hot it can warp a wood stove. I know ....more than you ever wanted to know .....

Thanks for doing your bit to promote the KS salt miles - was a working salt mine, then became a storage and now an attraction. But it was always an attraction. Over 60 years ago, I toured the mines and for years, samples of rock salt sat on a shelf in my room as a reminder of the trip. Folks made a living there and it's a great history lesson. Hedge apple - yes they grow on trees - poison - sometimes used as insect deterrent - keep the dogs away from them. PS - notice how the dogs do not get in the water or near as dirty when on leash :) . Yes, it's always the wind. Stay Safe.

I’ve not read other comments, but the large ‘yellow-green’ fruit are Osage Orange. We live in central Virginia, and they are native to our forests. There are 200 year old Osage trees here, and they are “Narnian” in appearance. I gather the oranges when they first fall and set them in bowls on my porches and a few inside. They repel bugs and rodents. The squirrels eventually eat them. When their limbs fall I cut them up for firewood. They ‘spark’ and often burn blue, and the wood itself is very orange inside. A truly unique tree.

Those are hedge apples. In the 30's the plains areas suffer from several years of drought. The dry conditions and strong Kansas winds caused what is known as the "Dust Bowl". In an effort to tame the KS winds down and stop soil erosion , row upon row of Hedge trees where planted. If you haven't guessed, I'm a KS native.

Those big green balls are hedge apples or fruit from the Osage Orange tree. Squirrels shred them into fluffy strands to get at the seeds. Osage Orange wood get very hard after it is dried when you cut it for wood. It has a wonderful fragrance when carved and not much grain, so it does stain well.

There is a nice campground in downtown Hutch at the State Fair Grounds, more barns to protect you from the wind. Those are the "fruit"/seeds of the Osage Orange tree or Hedge (local term), the trees grow real crooked/twisted and are great for fence posts. The Hillside area, where the FLW house is built is a historic area of Craftsman style homes, the FLW home looks out of place with it's 50's/mid century design.

It's called a hedge apple or hedge ball. Comes from the orange Osage tree. Most hedges (hence hedge ball) were put in in the dust bowl by FDR programs, which gave workers a job and enough to give food and shelter for their families. Men traveled here to plant hedges of multiple kinds of trees.To stop erosion of the ground due to wind. Also the hedges were put to use building fences etc. due to wind. Hedge is a hard wood. Hedge also makes great bbq. Especially in ground and covered with soil for long hours . Fall apart,literally. A lot of towns have fall festivals and serve this to the townfolks and visitors for donation.

Hedge apple from hedge trees. Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the Osage orange, horse apple, hedge, or hedge apple tree is a small deciduous tree or large shrub. Fence post made from hedge tree logs is what made this so prolific in Kansas.

I've been to Hutch a million times, and the underground tour at the salt mine was on my bucket list since childhood. But ever since we started having earthquakes I've been too scared to go underground- especially that far! Imagine being down there on that little train doing a tour and there's suddenly an earthquake. If we can have small ones, we can have a big one any day! Hopefully, a big one doesn't hit during a tornado warning, trapping people hiding in their basements- which is a common thing in Kansas. So thanks for the video- it's interesting indeed. I always heard that before computers, our paper medical records were stored down there. At least the ones from Wichita hospitals and doctors' offices. Found that out when I was trying to locate some of my own. Sure made me feel old at 30 years of age! And that was decades ago anyway. I won't say how many.... lol

Welcome to the central part of the US. Thanks for letting people, including myself, know about the salt mine tours. I was aware of the mines, but didn’t know there are tours. The wind is part of life in this part of the country including Oklahoma where we live. Today it was a little above normal with Wind gusts of close to 50 miles per hour. If you like architecture you missed a good opportunity to visit Greensburg, Kansas which I think is around an hour or so West of Wichita. There are no Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, but there are some very contemporary building that you might see his influences in their design. In May 2007 Greensburg was devastated by an EF5 tornado. The town reinvented itself as a “Green” community.

If you’re still in the Wichita area you are close to the only high rise FLW ever designed in Bartlesville, OK. It’s something to see. If you’re traveling through Alabama there’s Frank Lloyd Wright's Rosenbaum House in Florence, AL.

Hedge apples, good for keeping spiders out of your closet and blankets. Toxic and the trees have big thorns but great to burns really long time and really hot.

It is always windy in KS. We lived there 14 yrs and very few times did the wind not blow at least 5 to 10 mph. You can't grow some trees in KS, NE and OK due to the wind dries out the leaves and they fall off. It is like a giant hair dryer in the summer.

The green thing is a hedge apple.. welcome to Wichita! I hope you guys saw the water fall while you were at Santa Fe lake! Wichita facts- Pizza Hut, White Castle and Freddys started here.. We’re the air capital of the world and we have the tallest building in Kansas, we’re also the biggest city in Kansas! Barry sanders (nfl) , Kirstie alley (celebrity) we’re born here!

We called them 'hedge apples', at least that is what looks like, havent read all comments and maybe someone already commented. Used to use hedge (tree) for posts to do fence, cause, hedge last long time in ground.

Those things that look like brains are hedge apples and you do not eat them. When you were in Hutchinson you should gone and checked out the Kansas Cosmosphere. We live in the northwest part of the state! Safe travels

Those are Hedge Apples! They come from osage orange trees commonly referred to as hedge trees in Kansas! A lot of people think they're poisonous but they aren't. I've never had one but people say they taste like cucumbers

Please come back to Kansas and the next time you're in Hutchinson, check out the Cosmosphere! Those green brains are Osage Oranges aka Hedge Apples.
