Thorn bush

[surveyor]

Does anyone know what kind of thorn bush this is?

Osage orange!

I take it back I think it’s a trifoliate orange

Is that the same plant sometimes called a “mock orange”?

Not the woody shrub "mock orange". Named that I think for the flower which looks like an orange blossom but is not related at all.

Edit: I've pruned more than a few mock orange shrubs, I'm incorrect on the naming, it's because the blossom smells like oranges apparently. Never noticed that.

Thank you. There’s a woody shrub around here called a Mock Orange which does grow little orange-like fruits, but I don’t know what it actually is called, if that’s the right name for it or not.

That’s it. I usually only see it on older properties, old-fashioned, don’t today’s landscapers/gardeners planting it.

Yes it is.

I've got a few growing in the yard. Quite a stunning plant but considered invasive I beleive.
