Is a crab apple the same thing as a hedge apple? I noticed in one of the comments someone mentioned crab apple. As a youngster in south Mississippi I remember crab apples. I want to remember that kids ate them, but I may be remembering wrong.

They are not the same. Crab apples literally look like tiny apples on a tree. The hedge apples are big and greenish in color.
Crab apples are small apples about the size of a 50 cent piece and tart you can make jelly from them.
Hedge apples are the size of a grapefruit greenish yellow in color. And resembles cauliflower.
Crab apples are about the size of cherries. We had them up in Ohio when I was little.
Crab apples are NOT the same. I make jelly from crab apples every year. Yes, it does require a lot of sugar. Its the only jelly my grandson will eat.
If you ask me, the fruit off this Osage Orange looks almost the same as a Sycamore Tree "Fruit."
