I am wondering what this fruit is. It is growing on a tall tree with very rough bark in Missouri by Daniel Boones grave.
The top is four pointed hard and almost black.
The fruit is soft and ripe, has a jelly like flesh and smells of apricot.
This is a windfall. The tree has lost all its leaves but there are still fruits hanging - but they are very high.

There seems to be one seed inside, bottom right of picture, which is oval very thin and flat.
What is it?
