A new find on my little patch. It's Diospyros virginiana, also known as American Persimmon, Possumwood or Simmon. I never imagined I'd find a wild persimmon tree on my place, but there it is for the birds and squirrels to feed on - along with the web worms feeding on the leaves. More info on this native tree here - http://www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=477
@corinnec Thank you so much, Corinne. I don't think there's enough for any jam and these are about the size of cherries. Not like the tangerine sized ones I've seen in the markets. Apparently, the wild ones are real small.
@larrysphotos Thank you, Larry.

@koalagardens Thank you so much! I know you can eat the cultivated hybrids, but I've never tried a wild one.
