This photo was taken minutes ago which should be a clue. If you are from the south you’ve seen this if you are from the Ozarks you own this. Very popular in Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama. PawPaw ?

It's unlikely pawpaw would grow in the locations mentioned.
clue: winter temperatures of 10 below would be a piece of cake.

PawPaw is happy in the Ozarks, but it is not happy with overly cold temperatures. That picture is not of a persimmon - which is popular in the Ozarks and the other states you mentioned. The picture does not really look like a fig tree from the angle I can see. It does not look like an apple or pear either. It is not a pecan or chestnut tree. And it is supposed to be good in cake? And enjoy temps below 10 degrees F ? How big is the fruit? It almost looks like it could be a green nut. hmmmmmm

I just discovered this thread. I would have got the jujube right away as we usually get it once a year (in season). It is usually a bit pricy but is quite nice to chew on. Some may disagree but I think it is similar to a crab apple with a bit more flavor, very firm. Not having lived on the east coast or southeast, I will venture a guess that this last one may be a form of Kiwi fruit.

The piece of cake reference, the tree can withstand cold temps and its fruit is used for cooking. There are many types of persimmon but this time of year the fruit would have colored. The size you see in the picture is the mature fruit but not ready to eat. Clue: Harvest is not from the tree but scooped up from the ground. The wood is prized and hard. It would take the tree 100 years to reach a 100 feet then it will live another 100-200 years. And the biggest clue – think 3 parts Dolphie is on target

This one should not grow where it is growing, it is not cold tolerant, a few years ago we got down to 14 degrees and the tree survived. Notice the leaves are different than the other tree and the fruit is smaller. What is it?

Fig will grow in cold climate. This one might be a little difficult, something you don't find very often.
