Strange Fruit Tree from Oregon

Looking back through some of our old pictures from home - and I came across these pictures of a strange fruit tree out in eastern Oregon.

I thought I'd share, just in case anyone has grown anything similar to it near them?


At first ... when you're approaching the tree, it's hard to tell what it is that's growing on it:




And so, you try to get a closer look.

And you realize ...

YEP!

That's what I thought it was. What a very strange fruit tree.
