We found Green Eyes! Kinda🟢🟢

Osage Oranges, also called a Hedge Apple or Deer Fruit, are dropping in the battlefield right now, and they get HUGE! If you’ve never come across one before, this tree makes these crazy looking green, fleshy fruits that can look downright alien when you stumble upon them, often literally, as you might step on one hidden in the grass and leaves while hiking. The Chickamauga Battlefield has many Osage Orange trees, feeding the local squirrels and birds who munch on the fruit flesh and seeds.

If you are wondering if you should go foraging for them, be warned that despite the name, they DO NOT taste like an orange! The fruit is considered inedible for humans and is said to be incredibly bitter and to cause intense stomach aches.

Sponsored by Little Bug Bakery, these cutouts were made by the Green Eyes team to feature different figures from local folklore. We hope to add more in future years!
