Put them in a bucketb of water until spring. If you live where it freezes them put it in an area that won't freeze like in the basement or garage. Over a few months the hedge apples will turn to mush.  In spring, after the last frost dig a shallow trench(2" to 3" deep) and pour the mush in the trench, cover with dirt and wait for germination.

Is that how they would make fences with them?

Just going to put this out there Squirrelslayer,.................introducing a non-native species ,has never in the history of man ,worked out as planned . Here are a few examples. Dandelions, Purple loosestrife, Zebra muscles,Cane toads, Rabbits, Beavers, Starlings, Cats ,Dogs ,Pigs, Goats, Giant Hogweed,African snails, Pythons ,Iguanas,Emerald Ash borer,Asian longhorned beatle, Scotch Thistle,Asian Carp........................................We could go on but ,I'm hoping you get it. The outcome is usually devistating to entire ecosystems in ways that were never imagined.
