Exactly a year ago I picked up 4 fruits of a 12 feet high tree having white canopy of flowers.
Only one sprouted and is growing fast.
A friend of mine who has a nursery saw it and asked me what it was, I gave him the back ground, he laughed and told me the tree was growing at Liberty round about, sure enough it is, :lol: :lol: :lol: but he did not know what it was.

Looks like a tree in Texas with white flowers. See if this is the same as what you have in your memory
