It's the largest and most common fruit tree native to North America, grows wild all over the place, east of the Mississippi (and in the western Mississippi valley) from southern Canada to Florida. It's absolutely delicious, and easy to eat (a spoon makes it easier to dig out the flesh around the large seeds). And yet ... in less than 100 years since people started buying rather than foraging or growing most of their food, a fruit that has a relatively short ripeness window and travels very poorly due to thin skin and soft flesh, has become virtually unknown.
