Google Let Me Down

After much googling, I still don't know exactly what this yellowish thing is. It fell from the tree. It landed on the sidewalk. That's it. All I know.
Okay, let's just call it an Ugly fruit.

@amandal I think that could be it! The google photos didn't look as lumpy, but it's the closest that I could find. And I got to practice my SC on Picmonkey - my fav thing to do! Thanks for the visit!

You've got an Osage Orange there. Full name is a bois d'arc (Americanized to "bodark"). We always called the fruit horse apples, but they have many different nicknames. The trees lined some of the alleys when I was younger, and we would ride our bikes down the alleys and try to hit the horse apples. The best use I've heard of for the fruit is to cut it open and put it in a place where there are roaches. It will repel them. Nice POV in your photo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maclura_pomifera

I really should wait to look on the laptop, not my phone as I thought it was a tennis ball!

Awesome picture. It looks like what I heard called a hedge Apple many years ago.
