Thanks for the link. I don't think that's what it is, because the leaves
look different, and there was never any flower on these. I went out and took
several pictures of it, so here are the links to them:

You may be seeing 'mayapples', Podophyllum peltatum. See

I have some weird looking things growing along my trails. I think they
may
be maypops, but I thought maypop vines had passion flowers on them
before
the fruit appears. Also, one looks like a big tree rather than a vine.
The
fruit is about the size of a lime (or a little smaller), and is very
soft
(if you squeeze it, it pops open, revealing white fleshy pulp). Do I
have
maypops, or something else? I live in East Texas.
Thanks!
Angie
