This is what osage orange (/Maclura pomifera) /in Indiana looks
like.............and our walnuts have comparatively smooth hulls when
viewed side by side. They're closer to a cauliflower in texture than an
orange or walnut. Generally the walnuts are an inch in diameter smaller
than the Osage Orange/hedgeapples.
The question re the green walnut hulls---don't hull them, that's too
much work. Just dump the green-looking balls in a bucket; wash if you
want; cover with vodka for at least 3 days. More if you want. Strain and
decant. The alcohol will take care of any dirt/bugs left on the nuts.
My squirrels don't leave the vodka soaked orbs in the compost bin.

Some folks call the osage orange a thorn apple, or hedge apple. Maybe
you know the tree by another name. Sara

No Osage Orange in upstate NY that I know of, and fortunately, I
was raised identifying trees so walnut is easy to spot. Thanks. L
