Best Answer

No, osage orange thorns are not poisonous. Arborists and horticulturalists do not find any part of the deciduous tree in question (Maclura pomifera) toxic. As with any injury, severe wounds from osage orange thorns nevertheless may turn into infections if not cleaned regularly and monitored properly.
