I live in Houston. In the woods near my house there are two tall fruit trees that are dropping fruit now (October 1st). The fruits are spheres 1.25 inches across and orange red in color. The trees have grown in the middle of the forest and are tall and thin. Attached is the best picture I could get of leaves. I also have a picture of the fruit. There are several seeds in each fruit. They are hard and thin. (See picture.)
What kind of tree is this? From a "help the local wildlife" standpoint I would like to plant some of the seeds of this tree. Is this a good idea? Any hints on the bast way to plant these seeds.
