Pawpaws
Tomatoes.
Cranberries are pretty good 👍
tomatoes
Black raspberries
Tomatoes
Peaches or any stone fruit. That season is ending at local supermarkets but farmers markets still have them until October usually.
Mulberry
Huckleberries
Gotta be berries. I love raspberries, blackberries, black raspberries, and huckleberries.
I know apples originated elsewhere, but specifically Honeycrisp apples were developed in Minnesota.
Black cherries and cranberries.
Persimmons are nice.
Huckleberries
Wild plums
Definitely blackberries
Boysenberries!
Scuppernong & muscadine grapes. Without question.
Muscadines
Concord grapes
Pawpaws
Huckleberries. I went to Montana this year on vacation and ate half my weight in them. First time trying them. They’re so good, and I will dream about them until I can get them again.
Plums.
Rainer cherries, too, but I’m not sure if they count as native. They were just “invented” here. Does that count?
I don’t know if I have only one. Muscadine grapes make good wine, but that’s the only way I’ve had them. Mayhaws make good jelly.
I guess if you’re talking just the fruit itself with nothing done to it, it would be either blueberries or strawberries. Native strawberries can be found in the wild and are sweeter than the store bought hybrid.

Prickly pear. Makes the best fruit spread out there.
