Hello all,

Yet one more plant to identify please!

Here is the leaf and the fruit:

My friend from France says it may be what he termed a "Japanese apple".

But search for "pomme japonaise" did not reveal any fruits similar to

Looks like a pomegranate to me.


Hello Amos,

No, it is not a pomegranate. It is the size of a large jujube only.

Guess it could be a strawberry guava - they're sometimes nearly flat on

Did you eat it?


Np, I have not. My roommate keeps bringing these fruits and leaves. He encounters them during his walks around the neighborhood, mostly in public spaces... He asks me to taste them, but without knowing what they are I refuse to eat them...
