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.

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.
