Way off topic - Hedge apple name ?

They are cool trees.  When I was at Illinois State there was a giant tree just south of campus.  In my home town there was a Greek couple that would cross the street to an abandoned farm to pick the fruits every fall.
Does anyone know if they grow in Texas (College Station area)?

"Osage"

Dear Arnold,
I think its original distribution was sort of similar to that
of the Osage Indian nation. the fruit sort of looks like a lumpy
orange or grapefruit -even more like an Ugli Fruit and it smells
faintly (!) citrusy.

The foliage is more mulberry looking. Best Jim
