So around this time of year, these fruits start appearing.
I live in Houston and I am pretty sure they are not a native species. They seem to be a residential tree that show up in some neighborhoods and by bayous between subdivisions.
They taste kinda like a cross between a peach and a very very mild nectarine. The leaves are dark green, long and feel leathery. Each fruit has rather large smooth round brown seeds. 2-4.
There are freakin delicious and it’s strange because it seems like no one else harvests them. Even birds and parasites seem to ignore them. Squirrels sometimes go after them.
