Lindsey said...: We were just studying these! I didn't read where people ate hedge apples but we did find a book that states people in the early 1900's would place the apples around their house and they are a natural pest repellent. You would often find them sitting on people's porches close to doors. It's the smell that keeps the pests away. We thought they were very interesting.
