It is edible. Folks around here call it dogwood fruit. It makes a tasty cocktail.

It is from the genus of Morinda (Rubiaceae), but I don't know what is the exact species. Similar species might be Morinda pubescens, but its not native to North America. Young fruit here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Morinda_pubescens_in_Ananthagiri_forest,_AP_W_IMG_9226.jpg. You can check genus here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morinda. Good luck! Very interesting!
