The fruit is a bit greener than shown in the following picture and has a diameter of 8-10 cm (3-4 inches).



I was expecting to see them on a tree, but instead they were coming from tall branches of a shrub. Spotted on a trip to Silistra, Bulgaria in late September.

          Looks like Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera). Bulgaria fits, here is a Youtube video which you can compare your tree with.

          • It's an Osage Orange, and I'd like to add that some have thorns as protection from large herbivores which aren't around anymore. It's also why the trees have very hard wood.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
