The Osage Orange trees of the north Texas area bear large wrinlkly fruits once favored by wooly mammoths, although now considered mostly a nuisance as they can cause choking in horses.
The wood of this tree is tough, rot resistant and flexible, and was historically traded by the Osage tribe as the preffered wood for bow making, wagon wheels and other uses.

This guy eats strange fruits and describes them. He eats a slice at the 6:00 minute mark and says it tastes like watermelon rind.
