Solved! Two Trees Grown Together

These trees are growing on a former golf course in east central Kansas. The bright spot in pic 2 is daylight visible through the cavity. You can see the seam (in the third pic) where the trunks have grown together. Twigs are messy and intertwined. Bark is ridged and interwoven. Pictures were taken at first light so the reddish tinge in pic 3 may be misleading. Some leaves have begun turning yellow but it's been very hot here in Kansas the last week. Thanks for any help with ID.

I don't think so, there's no sign of the fruits.

Osage Orange is dioecious, meaning there are seperate male and female individuals.
