Be sure to carry one of these softball-sized Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) “fruits” with you this Halloween, in case you run into a brain-hungry zombie. The zombie probably won’t enjoy eating it (the fruit isn’t enjoyed by animals or humans), but the distraction may give you time to escape.

are these in season now? i find them alongside brook road s. of parham but cannot remember when to look
Yep! I found these in the Goochland Courthouse area 10/19, so the area you mentioned might have been ripe a little earlier.
