Paw-Paw trees.
They always grew back along the creek banks back home.
I have tasted them once, but the coons usually got them before we could!

Growing up in Southern Indiana with parents who were post-pioneer naturalists, there was one thing that was always on the coffee table: Mother Earth News. They got a little too technical for a lot of folks in the early 1980s, but the way they were trying to blend technology with natural or rural living really appealed to me.
In that vein, this article from treehugger.com appeals to me the same way all of those old Mother Earth articles did all those years ago.
