Michael and I have been taken by this tree every time we go to Joplin. It is on 20th Street just west of RangeLine. Today, we both finally had our cameras with us. The Home Depot, WalMart and Academy are nearby. This tree is an Osage Orange. By the size of it’s trunk, Michael thinks it is about 75-100 years old. It is amazing that one single leaf is growing on this tree after what it has been through. But that is Joplin for you, pretty darn amazing.

What an amazing tree. I’m from Joplin and have never seen it. Guess I know what I’m researching over the next couple of days.
