The guy probably means that he found planted Osage. It is no doubt imported to just about anywhere it will grow to act as a wind break or whatever other uses. You can find just about any tree anywhere it can grow because people are always planting based upon what they want compared to what grows naturally in that area.

No....
The guy means,that the staves he makes his osage bows from,were harvested in the Sacramento area.

  Traxx, we used to have a lot of osage in orange county in southern Calif. I used to run my bird dogs on abandon ranch properties before I was into bow making. I saw hedge apples all the time. I never bothered to look for the trees they came off of but I can say they were pretty common. The same property that Saddleback college is on is one of them.  There is still some small open spaces left over there, I have been tempted to go check it out.

Thanks,
This is really good information. It will be extremely useful. So far, the only wood I could find was California Bay but hopefully I can find (and cut)others too.

Just go deep into the hills and find some oak or juniper, and cut yourself a "walking stick"

A good quality folding saw is discreet as well as useful...  ;)
