Named after the White Shield creek in Oklahoma near where the original tree was discovered, this cultivated variety of Osage Orange is both thornless and fruitless.
Dark green glossy foliage looks as good at the end of the growing season as it did when leaves first emerged in Spring. No real fall color or noticeable flowers
Not the best tree for ornamental appeal but is fast growing in youth, tough, and adaptable to most sites.
Excellent tree for a street tree or use in institutional or unmanaged sites being both drought tolerant and pest/disease resistant
