That is the accepted common name. Scientific name is Asimina triloba. Its a member of the custard-apple family. Supposedly very similar to banana in flavor. I've not seen one, but I don't doubt it's possible. They do occur in Louisiana, although more in the northern part of the state. They do, however, occur pretty far south in East Texas according to the NWF tree guide I have.

Where did you find this one this far south?
