What kind of (fruit? nut?) tree do I have?

I have a tree that is growing fruit!... but what kind of fruit is it? Is it a nut?





I bought what I thought was a shade tree last year. Well, early this season, it has started growing fruit. The only problem is... I have no idea what kind of fruit it is!





The leaves on the tree are short, fat, round, shiney (like a silver dollar tree). The tree itself is about 8-10 feet tall (still growing!). The fruit is fuzzy (but they're not peaches!)...





Any ideas?

Is it small like a apricot? If so maybe it's a loquat. They are yummy little apricot looking fuzzy fruits. and inside they have 2 or 3 smooths big pits... Be careful with the pits though I heard they contain sianide (sp)

Reply:im not sure, but you could ask the question again later when more answerers are online.
Reply:I guess you will have to wait and see, you could take a stem to the garden center where you bought it and have them identify it
Reply:Well I'm assuming you got your money's worth then, not only are you getting your shade but you've got some buy one get one free deal going on here.





I think I know the leaves your talking about. Are they kinda furry on the bottom, like they have little white hairs?





I think the fruit could be a exsorbent number of things. The fact of nature is that tree make their seeds yummy so that animals will eat them and later poo them out and the seed will have fertilizer to grow with.





If your a little hesitant on eating them, have your friends (or not your friends) try them out first, your local grocer could have them, at the very least, someone would know what it is.
