Having seen hedge apples, I would think it would be a waste of time to research them as it is my understanding via my grandfather that hedge apples are poisonous. The "apple" is about the size of a softball, with a textured skin similar to that of a golf ball, smooth yet bumpy, with crevices like a human brain only less pronounced. I can't help but wonder if you weren't thinking of a walnut. When the nuts first fall from the tree, they are covered with a hard green outside covering which quickly softens and deteriorates revealing the rock hard nut inside. We seem to have a bumper crop of them this year since the squirrel population has decreased substantially. PTL!!! Anyone know what a (spelled like it sounds) chick-a-pin is?
