This is an Osage Orange (MB)
They are about the size of a grapefruit. My sis always wants to have one
of these in her house to repel ants & other unwanted insects. Research
now has found mosquito repellent properties similar to DEET. Interestingly,
mid-west ranchers planted Osage Orange as living fences before barbed wire
was invented. Read about them:
