mother fucker you a have a persimmon tree? fucking jelly, although that looks a bit small so not 100% sure, but if the dark parts are soft/chewy and edible, it's prob persimmon

Definitely persimmon. I have two growing in my front yard, expected yield to be over 100+. We give so many away because we just can't eat them all.

it's a western persimmon not an asian one. they are small and supposed to be dark and mushy. eating a western persimmon when orange like your big guy asian persimmon in pic related would be extremely painful. your mouth would pucker up and it would crash your tongue with no survivors.

Do you live in southern US? It looks like a native persimmon variety to the region.
