My parents harvested Asian pears, plums, nectarine. They have only this plant left. The fruits are still hanging and ripping. If they are big as apple then the skin won't be much a problem but they are small. We eat these fruits while we take care of the garden. They are pretty like water droplet.
If you have not be able to guess what it is, then I guess you never hear of jujube.
Ziziphus zizyphus (from
Greek ζίζυφον,
zizy
fon[1]), commonly called
jujube,
red date, or
chinese date, is a species of
Ziziphus in the buckthorn
family Rhamnaceae, used primarily for its fruits. Common names in Arabic are
nabq,
dum,
tsal,
sadr,
zufzuuf (in Morocco) and
sidr, the last of which also means
Ziziphus lotus.
[2] In Persian it is called
anab or
annab , a name also used in Lebanon.
It is a small
deciduous tree or
shrub reaching a height of 5–10 m, usually with thor

ny branches. The
leaves are shiny-green, ovate-acute, 2–7-cm wide and 1–3-cm broad, with three conspicuous veins at the base, and a finely toothed margin. The
flowers are small, 5-mm wide, with five inconspicuous yellowish-green petals. The
fruit is an edible oval
drupe 1.5–3-cm deep; when immature it is smooth-green, with the consistency and taste of an
apple, maturing brown to purplish-black and eventually wrinkled, looking like a small
date. There is a single hard stone similar to an
olive stone.
