Could you please identify this? It was a cluster of green pods that were light weight, roundish, smooth skinned, and when cut open, there was pulp with a small brownish soft center. It was found at the edge of the woods in Macon county North Carolina. Found low growing on a skinny, woody branch/stem.
Perhaps an unripe fruit from American persimmon. Photos of tree and leaves always helpful.
Thank you!

Thanks, but this is not a persimmon. I have persimmon trees and this is not a persimmon.
Could it be a wild pear? Fruits are clustered, small & round. The pulp stays firm, like an apple, until they begin to rot. We have several. Those trees have some fierce thorns and when they drop fruit, with help from squirrels, it's treacherous. Like walking on ball bearings.
The pulp was not firm and the plant had no thorns. There was no distinctive odor.
