Shady area surrounding a field. It grows wild.
Correct Chester! I used to pick them once they had turned a bit more of a golden-yellowish color, and eat the pulp that surrounded the seeds when I was age 8-10. There were also wild grapes growing out there too.
There was a clearing in the woods behind our newly built home in a new subdivision located on Shemwell Drive in Memphis TN., and the woods surrounding that clearing were covered with the vines, flowers and then these fruit/pods. Some of the younger hippie kids back then smoked the stems, but am told the Native Americans actually smoked the dried leaves, or used the fresh ones in teas.
