FYI: hedge, osage orange, Bois d' arc, do dark or bodark all names for the same tree, Maclura pomifera. Its wood, wet or dry, is near indestructible and fasteners of any kind need pilot holes. Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), AKA locust, yellow locust, white locust, green locust, post locust and false acacia has rose-like thorns on its branches and a compound leaf on a single central stem.
