Identify this tree

[Guest Kamikaze]

I have this weird tree at the house. Anyone know what it is. The trunk looks like huge vines and all the branches grow in repeating arches.

That won't work. I have no fruit on the tree.

I dunno but looks it would be good for a horror flick

I thought it was the tree from Ernest scared stupid at first. The kids asked if it had a troll under it. I have used that several times to get them to behave.

That's actually exactly what popped in my mind when I saw it. Haha.

Just hope it don't branch out.

Then I guess it isn't one of these.

Reminds me of the tree in Depp's "Sleepy Hollow" that the Hessian horseman uses as a gateway to hell.

Does it have thorns? Could be Osage Orange (aka Hedge Apple).

I'm thinking it is of the Mulberry family. The is about 10 different ones.

[Guest shadow fox]

it's a what knot tree... oh well it sounds like a good name. does it by any chance make big green bumpy balls about the size of a soft ball.

Leaves are similar although bigger than what I have here ,or from what I remember us having up north.
