The ones on my property don't always seem to have hedge apples on them. Some do, some don't...maybe male/female? They all do have a few things in common. The branches are all tough as nails. Even the dead ones. They have thorns that burn like an SOB when you get poked, and if you peal some bark back, the underbark is typically yellow/orange as well as the roots.
The tree in the middle of the first pic has some "hedgeish" qualities when I look at it. As well as the tangled ones in pic # 6.
