Based on your comment, I think you're in my region (Ozarks). Hi!
My best choice was some fig trees. No pressure except from raccoons. No tending, watering, etc required.
Not quite. Upper great lakes (southern Ontario). Right at the edge (like literally within a few miles) of where these "southern" species (pawpaw, sassafras, etc.) can survive.
Figs can't survive the winter here without protection, unfortunately.
